Japan, a country that does not have its own oil reserves, manages to keep gasoline prices among the lowest in the G7 group of industrialized nations. The average price of unleaded fuel in Japan is around 1.08 euros per liter, which is significantly lower than in many European countries. This low price is maintained through substantial public spending, as the Japanese government has established a special fund called a "mitigation" fund to stabilize fuel costs. Since spring, the government has allocated over 1.070 billion yen (approximately 6 billion euros) to this effort, with plans to increase this to around 10 billion euros by the end of the year. Despite Japan's public debt being more than 200% of its GDP, this spending has not caused significant political controversy, as the majority of the debt is held by local institutional investors, including the central bank, banks, and pension funds. China also uses a unique strategy to keep fuel prices stable for its citizens. Although China is one of the world's top oil producers, extracting over 4 million barrels of crude oil each day, it still imports nearly 70% of its oil to meet domestic demand. To manage fuel prices, the Chinese government adjusts price ceilings every ten business days and has implemented a "double lock" mechanism. If the international oil price rises above 130 dollars per barrel, the government freezes domestic prices and compensates state-owned refineries. On the other hand, if the international price drops below 40 dollars per barrel, price reductions are halted, and the savings are directed toward an energy transition fund. This system helps keep gasoline prices in China around 1.05 euros per liter, which is much lower than in Europe, where prices average 2.14 euros in France and 2.28 euros in Germany, largely due to high taxes on fuel. In countries outside the G7, Algeria uses its national oil production and subsidies to keep gasoline prices extremely low, often below 0.30 euros per liter. This is in stark contrast to Morocco, a country that does not produce oil and liberalized its fuel market in 2015. After liberalization, Morocco's gasoline prices have risen to between 1.35 and 1.40 euros per liter, reflecting the direct impact of global oil prices on the domestic market. This example highlights how different economic and policy choices can lead to vastly different outcomes in fuel pricing across the world. The contrasting approaches of Japan, China, Algeria, and Morocco illustrate the diverse ways in which governments manage fuel prices. Whether through subsidies, price controls, or market liberalization, these policies aim to balance economic stability with the needs of consumers. As global oil markets remain volatile, these strategies will continue to play a crucial role in shaping fuel affordability and economic policy worldwide.
