How prices are set
Since August 2015, the UAE has applied a deregulation policy for petrol and diesel prices. According to the government portal u.ae, prices follow a mechanism tied to global petroleum product prices that also weighs operating and distribution costs, so pump prices can rise or fall from one month to the next.
Prices are reviewed every month by the Gasoline and Diesel Prices Follow-up Committee, which is chaired by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and includes the relevant entities and the fuel companies. WAM has published each announcement in the table on the last day of the month before the prices applied. A fuller guide is in UAE fuel prices for October 2026 and how the monthly rate is set.
