Fuel prices in the country were liberalised in 2015, with local rates being aligned with global oil prices.
For the past 10 years, the fuel price committee has met on a monthly basis to announce revised rates.
The government hopes the measure will encourage more residents to use public transport while also incentivising the use of alternative fuels.
