The UAE announced Tuesday that it will be raising the price for fuel in June 2022.
The cost of Super 98 petrol will increase to AED4.15 a litre, up from AED3.66 a litre in May, and Special 95 will increase to AED4.03 a litre, up from AED3.55 in May.
The cost of fuel is being impacted by an ongoing squeeze on energy prices and global inflation.
As such, petrol prices in the UAE have progressively risen from February this year, with global oil prices have stayed above $100 a barrel for most of 2022.
In response, UAE residents are considering switching away from petrol and diesel-run vehicles at higher rates than previously recorded, a survey found last month.
