Jordan fuel prices set to stabilize
The Jordanian government has decided to keep fuel prices unchanged for September 2026. The price of 90 octane petrol remains at 1 dinar, 95 octane petrol at 1.310 dinars, diesel at 850 fils, and kerosene at 550 fils. Meanwhile, the price of domestic gas cylinders remains steady at 7 dinars. Despite fluctuations in the global market, the government has borne approximately 224 million dinars until the end of August to support prices, emphasizing that this does not represent an additional cost to consumers but rather differences absorbed by the treasury. Experts believe that maintaining prices helps limit the transfer of rising costs to other sectors, while citizens are calling for price reductions to match their income levels—especially since filling 40 liters of petrol costs nearly 14% of the minimum monthly wage, with taxes accounting for 37% of the price per liter. This highlights significant challenges to consumers' purchasing power. Global oil prices remain volatile, and the continuation of price stability will depend on how global prices fluctuate in the coming months.
