It emerged that the prices of petrol and diesel in the UAE would rise next month. Prices increased in September and August to reflect the trend in the oil market. The UAE liberalized petrol prices in 2015 to allow rates to move in line with the market. In 2020, prices were frozen by the Fuel Price Committee after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. The controls were removed in March 2021 to reflect the movement of the market once again.
