UAE Sets April 2025 Fuel Prices Unveiled
The UAE's fuel pricing mechanism, designed to maintain economic stability, saw a significant drop in prices in April 2025. This adjustment marked the lowest fuel prices of the year, offering temporary relief to transportation and logistics costs.
The prices for petrol and diesel were revised monthly, as per the dynamic system in place. In April, Super 98 petrol was priced at AED 2.57 per litre, Special 95 at AED 2.46 per litre, E-Plus 91 at AED 2.38 per litre, and diesel at AED 2.63 per litre.
The reduction in fuel costs had a direct impact on various sectors, including transportation and logistics. For instance, the lower diesel price in April contributed to reduced costs for freight movement, enabling lower delivery charges and potentially more competitive pricing in supply chains. Passenger transport and individual motorists also benefited from cheaper petrol prices, reducing daily commuting expenses.
Lower fuel costs tend to reduce expenditure on transportation and logistics, which can have positive ripple effects by lowering prices for goods and services reliant on transportation. Consumers may have had slightly more disposable income for other purchases during and shortly after April 2025.
However, this impact was temporary. Following April, fuel prices fluctuated, with diesel prices dropping further in May and June but then rising sharply in July and August. This volatility likely introduced uncertainty and eventually higher costs for transportation and logistics sectors after April, which could reduce consumer spending power later in 2025.
The UAE's fuel pricing mechanism, introduced in 2015, allows adjustments based on global crude oil movements and is aligned with international benchmarks. This mechanism aims to enhance fuel efficiency and encourage alternative energy adoption. Despite the temporary relief provided in April 2025, the ongoing fluctuations in fuel costs serve as a reminder of the importance of the UAE's fuel pricing mechanism in maintaining economic stability and supporting various sectors.
