The UAE government has taken multiple initiatives to support the lower-income tier of society. The core aim of these initiatives is to ensure a balanced lifestyle for all socioeconomic classes. The Social Support Program is also an important initiative that provides subsidies to Emiratis in different life sectors. Recently, the President of UAE, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, announced a budget increase for the Social Program in order to ensure more benefits to the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at the fuel subsidy through the Social Support Program in more detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A significant budget increase in the Social Support Program managed by the Department of Community and Development was announced in 2022. Previously, the total budget of the program was AED 14 billion<\/strong>, which increased to AED 28 billion<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are multiple programs running in the Emirates, this one secures a significant position due to the fuel subsidiary it will provide. Following the increasing fuel prices in the UAE<\/a>, this program will be a help for low-income families in the UAE.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After recent developments, the Social Support Program will provide 85% fuel subsidy for lower-income individuals in the UAE on fuel pricing of more than AED 2.1\/litre<\/strong>. The family head will be able to avail 300 litres of subsidised fuel. Whereas, working women can avail 200 litres of subsidised fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
