Amid preparations for the summer holiday season, a new increase in fuel prices took effect in Morocco on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, as recorded at multiple fuel stations nationwide.
According to on-site observations, diesel prices rose by 0.41 MAD per liter, while gasoline saw an increase of 0.29 MAD per liter, significantly impacting travel costs during the peak vacation period.
At stations such as Afriquia and Shell in downtown Casablanca, the price of diesel reached 10.98 MAD/liter, while gasoline climbed to 12.94 MAD/liter. At Winxo, diesel was sold at 10.95 MAD/liter and gasoline at 12.91 MAD/liter.
This hike comes at a time when the global oil market is witnessing a notable decline, with crude prices dropping to around $65 per barrel, following a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel, which helped ease international market tensions.
In its latest report for Q4 2024, Morocco’s Competition Council stated that gross profit margins on fuel distribution stood at approximately 15% for diesel and 16% for gasoline, shared between wholesale distributors and fuel station operators.
The Council is expected to release its first report on net profit margins for fuel distributors soon, based on 2024 financial data, to offer more transparency on actual corporate profits in this critical sector.
