Kuwait Plans to Increase Fuel Prices for Expats

Kuwait: Kuwait is studying an increase in petrol prices based on the global market for “expatriates only,” a Kuwait newspaper has reported, citing a government source. •

“It is unreasonable for expatriates and visitors to the country, whose numbers are double that of citizens, to benefit from gasoline at such low prices,” a government source said.

A government source disclosed plans to raise gasoline prices in line with global market trends, according to Al Qabas newspaper.

The source explained to the newspaper that the price increase would exclude citizens and only apply to expatriates. Additionally, the government would provide financial support to citizens for fuel consumption, shielding them from the impact of any price hike.

The source added, “It is unreasonable for expatriates and visitors to the country, whose numbers are double that of citizens, to benefit from gasoline at such low prices.”

He noted that the increase and its rate are currently under review and will soon be presented to the Economic Affairs Committee for approval.
