UAE to raise gasoline price 24pc to 58 cents
ABU DHABI, July 28, 2015
The United Arab Emirates said it would raise domestic prices for gasoline and cut them for diesel in a politically sensitive reform designed to save the government money and encourage motorists to use fuel more efficiently.
The price of a litre of octane 95 gasoline will climb 24 per cent to Dh2.14 (58 US cents) at the start of August, while diesel will fall 29 per cent to Dh2.05, state news agency WAM reported on Tuesday. – Reuters
