ABU DHABI/DUBAI: The UAE Fuel Price Committee has confirmed that fuel prices will remain the same for January 2025, ensuring consistency and financial predictability for consumers throughout the country. Super 98 petrol will continue to be priced at Dh2.61 per litre, maintaining the rate set in December. This decision offers a sense of stability to motorists as they prepare for the new year, allowing them to plan their budgets without the concern of sudden price hikes. The continuation of this price reflects the UAE government’s focus on providing financial relief for individuals and families across the nation.
In addition to Super 98 petrol, Special 95 petrol will stay at Dh2.50 per litre, a price that mirrors that of the previous month. This ensures that those using this fuel type for their vehicles will not see an increase in their expenses, further easing the financial pressure on motorists. E-Plus petrol, a popular fuel option for many vehicles, will also retain its price at Dh2.43 per litre, offering another stable pricing option for consumers. The decision to maintain these prices at the same level reflects the UAE government’s commitment to ensuring that fuel remains affordable and accessible for a wide range of users, particularly in light of ongoing global market fluctuations.
Moreover, the price of Diesel will remain steady at Dh2.68 per litre, the same rate as December. Diesel is a key fuel type for commercial and industrial activities across the UAE, particularly for transport and logistics sectors. By keeping the price stable, the UAE Fuel Price Committee ensures that the operational costs of these industries do not increase unexpectedly, which helps maintain the country’s economic stability. Stable diesel prices are crucial for supporting businesses that rely on logistics, shipping, and construction, ensuring that they can continue to operate efficiently and effectively without facing the burden of rising fuel prices.
The UAE Fuel Price Committee’s decision to freeze fuel prices for January 2024 comes at a time when the global oil market continues to experience fluctuations. Despite these market shifts, the committee has opted for stability, aiming to protect consumers from volatility and to shield the economy from the broader impacts of unpredictable energy costs. The UAE’s approach to managing fuel prices, through careful monitoring and transparent pricing policies, highlights its commitment to balancing the needs of both consumers and the economy, ensuring that fuel remains accessible and affordable for all. This approach reinforces the UAE’s long-term strategy to maintain a resilient economy while also supporting sustainable energy practices and energy efficiency initiatives.
