Fuel prices rose sharply across Morocco at midnight on April 1, 2026, as diesel and gasoline costs jumped by MAD 1.70 and MAD 1.57 per liter, respectively, pushing prices to around MAD 14.49 for diesel and MAD 15.49 for gasoline amid global oil pressures related to the ongoing war in the Middle East, Moroccan outlet Le Matin reported.
The increase accelerates a rapid upward trend that began in mid-March, with cumulative hikes reaching MAD 3.70 for diesel and MAD 3.01 for gasoline in less than two weeks, fueling criticism over opaque pricing mechanisms.
At the same time, the National Federation of Owners, Traders, and Managers of Service Stations reported supply disruptions affecting several service stations as distributors reduced or halted deliveries due to stock shortages.
Long lines and temporary closures have emerged at some stations as demand surges, while professionals call for greater transparency in pricing structures and contract terms.
The domestic hikes mirror global trends, with Brent crude hovering around US$118 per barrel, intensifying pressure on consumers already facing rising fuel costs.
