Oil prices hit $71 on December 25th for the first time since 2014. The UAE’s Ministry of Energy first began setting fuel prices based on average global prices in August 2015. Before that, the price of petrol in the UAE was subsidized by the government, which shielded consumers from global fluctuations in the cost of petrol.

The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia began to curb supplies in 2017. In December 2016, the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) struck a deal to reduce output by about 1.8 million barrels a day.
