Following the dip in global oil prices, Oman had deregulated its oil prices in January this year as part of austerity measures aimed at plugging the budget deficit.
Before deregulation in January, the cost of super grade petrol was 160 baisas a litre, regular grade petrol was 140 baisas a litre and for diesel it was 160 baisas a litre.
Fuel subsidies for 2015 were estimated to be OMR580 million, and with deregulation the government will be able to save that money, which is expected to be a great help in reducing the deficit.
