Algeria ranks first worldwide in terms of the decrease in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices, selling for less than a quarter of the prices set in several oil-producing countries, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, reflecting the continued support policy adopted by the state in the energy sector. Recent data on fuel prices worldwide, according to Algerian public television, indicates that the price of a liter of liquefied petroleum gas in Algeria is only 12 dinars, equivalent to about $0.09, which is more than four times lower compared to Saudi Arabia, where the price reaches $0.291 per liter (37.40 dinars), and Russia, where it is sold for $0.366 per liter (47.03 dinars).
