The system, which aims to reduce prices of oil derivatives and increase competition between companies, has been under study by the Ministry of Energy in Jordan, according to a source at the ministry.

Reducing prices and boosting competitionAccording to Akel, the implementation of a price ceiling system would result in a relative reduction of prices and an increase in competition between companies.

This competition would be in the form of offers to attract citizens to purchase from them, ultimately benefiting the consumers, Jo24, reported.

The government, he said, will set a price ceiling, which no company would be permitted to sell above. This would encourage companies to compete to sell at the lowest price, resulting in a price difference between companies that will be advantageous for consumers.

Committee formedA source from the Ministry of Energy said that the ministry has formed a committee to study the implementation mechanism and set up its own system in preparation for execution.

This committee is currently developing the executive instructions for the system and will be finalized soon.
