Regarding fuel prices...this is what “Energy” announced
Fady Mahouly
The Ministry of Energy and Water announced in a statement that a number of citizens complained that fuel prices did not decline to the extent that was witnessed globally.
She explained in a statement that the pricing is issued based on a scientific equation that includes fixed and dynamic elements and is not limited only to global fuel prices.
With the issuance of Decree No. 3214 dated 6/15/2026, which requires amending fees on waste-producing materials, Article 28 of the law issued on 10/10/2018 began to be implemented and these fees were collected on the materials mentioned in the attached table, which included fuels.
She said: “The Ministry of Energy has contacted the relevant ministries in order to exempt fuel from these fees.”
She added: “Based on the above, the collection of fees stipulated by Decree 3214 by the General Directorate of Customs has reduced the extent of the decline in prices. We hope that the efforts we are making will be crowned with a speedy exemption of fuel from these fees.”
