Fuel prices in the UAE have been liberalized since 2015, aligning local rates with global oil prices. Over the past eight years, the fuel price committee has convened monthly to announce revised rates. The government aims to encourage residents to utilize public transport and promote the adoption of alternative fuels through these pricing measures.
