August globally sustained local petroleum prices
Global pricing data for August 2026 indicates that the Jordanian government continues to cover price differences for several petroleum derivatives. For example, the cost of Octane 90 gasoline is approximately 1.069 dinars per liter, while the consumer selling price is around one dinar, resulting in a difference of 69 fils. Similarly, Octane 95 gasoline costs about 1.31 dinars, with the same selling price, showing no difference. Diesel costs 0.96 dinars, sold at 0.85 dinars, creating a gap of 11 fils. For Kerosene, the cost is 0.945 dinars, while the retail price is 0.55 dinars, leading to a difference of 395 fils. The domestic gas cylinder costs 12.5 dinars, but is sold to consumers for 7 dinars, resulting in a support gap of 5.5 dinars. These price differences reflect the extent of government subsidies aimed at keeping the prices of certain petroleum products and domestic gas lower than their actual costs.
