Tough blow for Moroccans: diesel and gasoline prices soar again

Moroccan drivers are facing an unprecedented surge. This new increase, effective since Monday midnight, brings the liter of diesel to an increase of 2.40 dirhams while the super gasoline takes 1.40 dirhams. This brutal turnaround marks the end of a particularly black March for road users.

The chronology of this March 2026 illustrates exceptional volatility. After a slight increase on March 1 (+0.25 DH) and a strong increase on March 16 (+2 DH for diesel), this third revision of prices in just four weeks brings the financial effort of consumers to a critical and unprecedented level.

The socio-economic impact is expected to be immediate and profound. This surge in prices should be reflected in logistics costs, hitting agriculture and distribution hard. Operators fear "ripple effects on the prices of goods and services" in a national context already marked by strong inflationary tensions.

Faced with this situation, the Competition Council has recently strengthened its monitoring to ensure transparency and avoid any "anti-competitive practices". In the short term, the global geopolitical instability leaves the risk of new fluctuations at the pump.
