Agadir – Fuel prices in Morocco rose again starting today, with diesel increasing by MAD 0.34 per liter and gasoline by MAD 0.27, according to industry information.
The latest adjustment comes two weeks after the previous revision, when diesel prices increased by MAD 0.06 per liter while gasoline prices remained unchanged.
Following the latest increase, diesel will sell for around MAD 15.30 per liter in Casablanca, while gasoline prices are to exceed MAD 15.20 per liter. Actual pump prices can vary depending on the distributor, station, and location.
The latest increase extends a series of fuel price adjustments recorded in Morocco since July.
Diesel prices fell by around MAD 0.96 at the beginning of July before rising by roughly MAD 0.65 to MAD 0.70 in mid-July. Prices then increased by around MAD 1 at the beginning of August and another MAD 0.65 in mid-August.
Gasoline prices have followed a different pattern. The fuel increased by nearly MAD 0.40 in mid-July and around MAD 1 at the beginning of August before falling by MAD 0.30 in mid-August. Its price then remained unchanged during the September 1 adjustment.
On September 1, diesel prices stood at around MAD 15.01 per liter, up from approximately MAD 14.95, while gasoline remained at around MAD 14.94.
Global oil prices remain high
The latest Moroccan adjustment comes amid continued volatility in international oil markets, with geopolitical tensions in the Middle East keeping supply concerns elevated.
Brent crude settled at $108.75 per barrel on September 15, its highest settlement level since May 19, after rising by $3.07, or 2.9%, on September 15.
Oil prices have climbed sharply in recent weeks amid concerns over disruptions to regional supplies and shipping routes. Reuters reported that attacks affecting Saudi energy infrastructure and uncertainty surrounding oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz have contributed to the recent rise.
On Wednesday, however, oil prices eased after Saudi Arabia moved to offer additional crude shipments through Oman, helping reduce some concerns over supply disruptions. Brent crude was standing around $107.92 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate stood at around $104.42.
