For a long time Jordan depended on oil supplied from Iraq at preferential prices. After the Iraq war Jordan started reforming its pricing mechanism in 2005 which culminated in the elimination of subsidies on most petroleum products in 2008. A system of monthly price changes has been adopted since 8.2.2008. A committee formed of representatives of the finance, energy and trade ministry as well as the Jordanian Petroleum Refinery Company adjusts the prices based on a formula that follows the changes in the price of Brent crude oil during the previous 30 days. The new prices are announced via the news agency petra and are published on the website of the Ministry of Energy. The applied formula is not public and unclear.
Leaked US State Department cables show that oil-rich Gulf countries sometimes provided Jordan with oil at preferential rates, particularly after the fall of Sadam Hussein.
