Petrol prices in the UAE are likely to remain stable in August 2025, following modest changes over the past few months. The trend is backed by a slight dip in global oil benchmarks and a consistent inflation outlook, offering relief to both motorists and businesses that rely heavily on transportation.

According to Khaleej Times, the average closing price of Brent crude in July settled at $68.80 per barrel, a slight decrease from June’s average of $69.87. Correspondingly, petrol prices in July were set at:

These relatively stable rates play a vital role in maintaining low transportation costs, where logistics efficiency directly impacts customer satisfaction and operational costs.

The UAE’s inflation stood at 1.4% in Q1 2025, thanks largely to declining energy prices. The Central Bank has since revised its inflation forecast for 2025 from 2.0% to 1.9%, with the same figure projected for 2026. Much of this is attributed to decreasing transportation costs and easing prices in non-energy commodities.

For some businesses, this stable economic outlook means consistent fuel-related costs, important for vehicles, logistics operations, and on-ground services like billboard setups or equipment delivery.

While global trade uncertainties initially impacted July oil prices, last week’s recovery was driven by positive developments in US trade negotiations.

Osama Al Saifi, Managing Director for MENA at Traze, stated:

"The US-Japan agreement and ongoing EU trade talks are boosting optimism around crude demand. However, lingering uncertainties may temper any major price surges in the short term.”

 

This cautious optimism suggests a relatively balanced oil market heading into August, reducing the likelihood of sudden petrol price hikes in the UAE.
