Speculation is rife about what’s coming after the fuel smart card system. The government denies yesterday media reports that it map cap the volume of subsidized fuel each motorist can buy at 150-200 liters, according to AMAY. Anything over that would sold at full price, and families with multiple vehicles will only receive one ration of subsidised fuel. The smart card system was rolled out at the start of the year.

Meanwhile, the government plans to distribute 7 mn land-holders’ ID cards to farmers in a bid to assess how to disburse cash, fertilizers and fuel subsidies and wean out farmer Kramers, according to Agriculture Ministry sources, Al Mal reports.
