In July 2015, the UAE’s Ministry of Energy announced removal of subsidy on petrol and diesel prices, with market-linked prices starting from August 1, 2015.
The price increase reflects the rising global benchmark of crude oil, which is currently trading at $58 per barrel, up by almost 12 percent on last month.
