Fuel prices in Saudi Arabia have remained stable despite the geopolitical fluctuations the region has seen for about 40 days. This is in view of the stressful regional situation, which is not reflected in the local market, with the escalating conflict between Washington and Tel Aviv on the one hand, and Tehran on the other.
unreplaced gasoline
Today, Saudi Aramco announced unchanged gasoline prices for April 2026. This is because the price of petrol 95 settled at 2.33 riyals per liter, the effective price during the previous period, while the price of petrol 91 was fixed at 2.18 riyals per liter without recording any new changes.
Stability of diesel oil and kerosene
As part of the policy aimed at reducing price fluctuations within the local market, the price of diesel was maintained at SR 1.79 per liter and the price of kerosene was stabilized at SR 1.59, so this stability also includes the remaining fuel products.
98 gasoline limit high price
Meanwhile, according to the latest update, 98 petrol recorded the only increase in the price list, with the price of 1 liter reaching 3.83 riyals.
Volatility absorption policy
This stabilization has been achieved as part of an ongoing approach that balances regular reviews of fuel prices with maintaining local market stability, reflecting the flexibility of pricing policies and the ability to absorb external shocks, despite regional challenges.
Reassuring economic message
Stabilizing fuel prices in Saudi Arabia, despite tensions in the Gulf and the war with Iran, has important economic and political implications, as it increases confidence in the strength of the national economy and sends a reassuring message that the kingdom can manage the crisis without directly impacting the lives and livelihoods of its people.
