In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Fuel Price Committee froze petrol prices, preventing any changes.

However, in March 2021, as global oil prices began to rise, the controls were lifted to allow market forces to determine petrol prices once again.

Moreover, the fluctuation in petrol prices is also influenced by the surge in crude oil prices worldwide.
