AMMAN —
Engineer Musa Al Saket, a member of the
Jordan Chamber of Industry and an
economic writer, emphasized the necessity of exempting the industrial sector
(the production sector) from the recent hike in oil product prices. These
remarks follow a
government decision on Thursday, where the price of a liter of
gasoline for both Octane 90 and 95 increased by 4 piasters each, and the price
of a liter of
diesel increased by 8.5 piasters.

He went
on to express his hope that productive sectors, especially after a year of
updates, would receive exemptions from these increases. He highlighted that
during a forum, the
Prime Minister had discussed the importance of relieving
the energy burden on the industrial sector, Ammon News reported. The fuel
prices in September 2023 are the highest they have been in terms of increases
over the past nine years.
According
to Saket,
energy prices and production costs are considered significant
challenges that the industrial sector faces, limiting its competitiveness and
export capabilities.
