Shura council has called to fix fuel prices annually instead of monthly. Fuel should be set at a fixed price for the year and those struggling to afford it should be considered, according to Shura Council members after they called a meeting in the wake of the latest fuel hikes. Following the announcement, a special committee at the Shura Council, tasked with tackling economic issues, immediately held a meeting to raise the issue with the government about implementing a ceiling for fuel prices and the possibility of setting a fixed price for the rest of the year.
