Syria is suffering, especially in the past two years, from a significant shortage of energy resources, especially gasoline and domestic gas cylinders, prompting the government to take a series of austerity measures to rationalize consumption.
The Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Ali Ghanem, announced the suspension of the supply of private cars with engine capacity of “2000 cc” and above, and everyone who owns more than one car, be it an individual or a company, with subsidized gasoline, to use the revenues to be provided in “service projects”. And development “did not specify what it is.
Private cars, regardless of the capacity of their engine, were entitled to receive 100 liters of subsidized gasoline per month, provided that their owners bear any additional amount.
And those covered by the decision must now secure the fuel for their cars at their own cost, that is, at the unsupported price, which is set at nine thousand Syrian pounds (about $ 12) for the gasoline tank (20 liters), while receiving only five thousand pounds.
Ghanem explained, according to statements by the official news agency “SANA”, that “the oil derivatives and crude oil supplied to Syria not only have their international prices, but also have an added value in transport tariffs and remittances such as result of coercive economic measures “imposed on the government.
He explained that the decision “removes the subsidy in part from only nine percent” of the cars.
