Jordan Keeps Fuel Prices Unchanged Despite Global Oil Market Surge
The Fuel Pricing Committee in Jordan has decided to keep fuel prices unchanged for August, despite a significant rise in global oil market due to renewed regional political tensions.
The committee reviewed international petroleum product prices for July compared with June and found a notable increase in average prices, particularly for diesel and kerosene. This decision reflects the government's policy of shielding citizens and economic sectors from sharp fluctuations in global energy markets.
The prices are set at JD1.000 per litre for Octane 90 gasoline, JD1.310 per litre for Octane 95 gasoline, 850 fils per litre for diesel, and 550 fils per litre for kerosene. The committee also kept the price of the 12.5-kilogram household LPG cylinder unchanged at JD7.
The government has borne approximately JD212 million in subsidies and price differentials since the onset of the current crisis through the end of July, including support for household LPG cylinders.
