New Policies in the Fuel Card Sector
Ahmadi explained the government's policies regarding the use of fuel cards, stating that the main goal is to direct consumers towards using personal fuel cards and bank cards. This action can help monitor transactions and fuel consumption, leading to a reduction in fuel smuggling. According to him, with these changes, it will be easy to identify who is using fuel and with which card.
Regarding the timeline for the public implementation of this plan, Ahmadi announced that a meeting was held last week with the Deputy Minister of Economy and other relevant agencies. In this meeting, it was decided that the use of bank cards would initially begin as a pilot in a few stations and then expand to about 3,000 other stations. This plan is now on the verge of being implemented at all stations.
Changes in Fuel Prices and Quotas
Ahmadi also addressed questions related to the limitations on the use of fuel quotas at the third rate. He noted that restrictions have been set for bank cards and that policy-making in this area is still ongoing. He also referred to changes in the third fuel rate, stating that the Energy Commission has had differing views on price increases, but the government has decided to raise the third rate.
Finally, Ahmadi emphasized that in the area of fuel, unofficial statements should be avoided, and information should be communicated officially and accurately. He expressed concern about creating shock in society through incorrect news and unofficial statements and stressed the need to pay attention to official information.
