Oil derivative costs versus Jordan prices
The data shows that fuel prices in Jordan are approaching their actual costs. The cost of a liter of 90-octane gasoline is approximately 1.069 dinars, while it is sold to consumers at 1 dinar, resulting in a difference of nearly 69 fils. Similarly, the cost of diesel is about 0.96 dinars, with a selling price of 0.85 dinars, creating a gap of approximately 110 fils. There are also significant differences with domestic gas cylinders, where the actual cost is around 12.5 dinars, but they are sold at 7 dinars. This reflects the ongoing support from the government treasury to keep the prices of certain products below their costs. These figures illustrate the extent of government support to continue lowering the prices of some fuels, despite the additional costs it imposes on the general budget.
