UAE Oil Prices to Rise in April

The Fuel Price Committee in the UAE has announced a rise in petrol prices from April 1 for a second month in a row.

The breakdown per litre is as follows:

• Super 98: Dh2.29 – up from Dh2.12 in March (a rise of 8 per cent)

• Special 95: Dh2.17 – up from Dh2.01 in March (a rise of 8 per cent)

• Diesel: Dh2.22 – up from Dh2.15 in March (a rise of 3 per cent).

In August 2015, oil prices were liberalised to allow them to move in line with the market, but due to COVID-19, they were held by Fuel Price Committee.
