Morocco's Fuel Prices Surge Again, Nearing 15 Dirhams per Liter
After a few weeks of decline, pump prices are rising again and are approaching 15 DH per liter.

After a few weeks of decline, pump prices are rising again and are approaching 15 DH per liter.

Fuel prices in Morocco have soared again at the pump in recent days, exceeding 14 DH per liter in some places.

The government announced that it has released an additional budget to support road transport professionals , still struggling with the rise in fuel prices.

Faced with the fuel crisis , Morocco will invest 3 billion dirhams in new projects to increase the storage capacity of hydrocarbons and thus be less dependent on the international market.

A pleasant surprise at the pump. The retail prices of the various fuels in Morocco fell on Friday, finally dropping below the symbolic 14 DH per liter mark.

This Friday, service stations in Morocco have lowered fuel prices, following the drop in international prices. After reaching a record , the prices of gasoline and diesel have fallen back below 14 dirhams per liter.

The national security stock of diesel covered only 26 days of consumption needs as of April 11, or less than half of the required period of 60 days, said Energy Minister Leila Benali.

The direct aid announced to Moroccan transporters to mitigate the soaring fuel prices is effective. To date, the government has already released some 340 million dirhams.

The discontent of the members of the National Federation of Owners, Merchants and Managers of Service Stations in Morocco (FNPCGS) persists due to the soaring price of fuel at the pump and the lack of dialogue with the Ministry of Energy Transition. They threaten to strike if the government does not find solutions to the problems that, they say, are undermining their sector.

As announced by some specialists, the dance of fuel prices continues in Morocco , this time crossing a new record. On Tuesday, prices exceeded 15 dirhams per liter at the pump.

Saying they are suffocated by the dizzying rise in the price of diesel at the pump in Morocco, the transporters announce a new strike. It starts this Wednesday, April 6 at 10 a.m.

Despite the announcement of a government support program, some grand taxi drivers have decided to increase the usual fares, in an attempt, they say, to keep up with inflation. A decision that goes against the unions and local authorities.
