UAE residents can expect a significant decrease in fuel prices for April 2025, with reductions exceeding 5% across all fuel types. The UAE fuel price committee announced the changes on Monday, citing trends in the global oil market as the driving factor.
This marks the second price decrease in 2025, following unchanged prices in January and a roughly 5% increase in February, followed by a retreat in March.
Here's a breakdown of the new fuel prices per litre for April:
- Super 98: Dh2.57 (down nearly 5.9% from Dh2.73 in March)
- Special 95: Dh2.46 (down 5.7% from Dh2.61 in March)
- Diesel: Dh2.63 (down almost 5.1% from Dh2.77 in March)
- E-Plus 91: Dh2.38 (down about 6% from Dh2.54 in March)
Since 2015, the UAE has followed a deregulated fuel price model, aligning domestic costs with fluctuations in the global oil market.
Global Oil Market Factors Influencing Price Changes:
Volatility in the global oil market, influenced by geopolitical uncertainties, shifting supply dynamics, and concerns about potential economic slowdown, has played a significant role in the price adjustments.
Benchmark Brent crude was trading at $73.50 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate was down to $69.14 a barrel.
Opec+ members, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have agreed to production cuts to help stabilize the market. These cuts, ranging from 189,000 to 435,000 barrels per day, will continue until June 2026. The alliance will also gradually unwind voluntary production cuts of 2.2 million bpd starting April 1, adding 138,000 bpd per month until September 2026.
