Petroleum costs versus Jordan prices
The global pricing data for August 2026 shows that the Jordanian government bears significant differences between the actual cost of petroleum derivatives and the prices at which they are sold to consumers. For example, the cost of Octane 90 gasoline was approximately 1.069 dinars per liter, while it was sold to consumers for one dinar, indicating government support that compensates for the difference. This means the treasury incurs price disparities on many products to maintain their prices low for consumers. Additionally, the support for household gas amounts to about 5.5 dinars per cylinder, reflecting a large gap between the cost and the sale price. This illustrates the extent of financial support provided to maintain stability in the prices of petroleum derivatives in the country.
