Fuel Price Hike in Morocco: A New Wave of Increases

Morocco is experiencing a new surge in fuel prices, with diesel rising by 20 cents per liter and gasoline increasing by 16 cents per liter.

Fuel stations across the country began applying these price hikes on Saturday, February 1st, triggering public discontent. Many citizens have expressed frustration over the fact that distributors often delay price reductions when market rates drop, yet implement increases immediately.

This latest rise further pressures consumers’ purchasing power at a time when the country is facing widespread inflation affecting multiple sectors. The key question remains: how long will these fuel price hikes persist, worsening citizens’ struggles without necessarily aligning with international market fluctuations?
