The President of the Gas Station Owners Syndicate, Nahar Seidat, called on Wednesday for global fuel price increases to be reflected in the local market gradually over several months. This approach, he argued, would help maintain the stability of commodity prices and transportation services, with the possibility of offsetting these costs when global prices decline.

Speaking to Al-Mamlaka, Seidat explained that the government is considering several options regarding fuel prices for the coming month. He predicted that any price hikes would likely be phased in gradually to mitigate the impact on citizens and various sectors, stressing the importance of compensating for these increases when international prices eventually drop.
He warned that a "one-time" sharp increase would have an immediate and significant ripple effect across all market prices.
Energy Security and Strategic Reserves
Seidat reassured the public that Jordan's fuel stocks are at comforting levels and that the energy security system is operating with high professionalism. "There is no need for concern; the situation is very secure, and supplies are sufficient," he stated.
He further emphasized that the government’s strategic reserves remain untouched to date, as operations are proceeding optimally. Seidat concluded by urging the public to ignore rumors and to obtain information exclusively from the state’s official sources.
