Fuel distributors: “indecent” profits in Morocco?

Despite global fluctuations, fuel distributors in Morocco are boosting their profits. Enough to annoy El Houssine Yamani, secretary general of the national union of oil and gas industries under the CDT, who is calling for an overhaul of the oil regulatory framework.

“The prices charged at service stations in Morocco exceed the level they should reach during the first half of January 2025, with a difference of more than one dirham for diesel and nearly two and a half dirhams for price of gasoline,” points out Hespress El Houssine Yamani, general secretary of the national union of oil and gas industries under the CDT. According to his explanations, the price of a liter of diesel should not exceed 9.98 dirhams, compared to 11.30 dirhams applied at the stations. As for the price of a liter of gasoline, it should not exceed 11.06 dirhams, compared to 13.20 dirhams charged in stations during the first half of January.
