KUWAIT: The interior and commerce ministries held a meeting yesterday to discuss the impact of the gasoline price increase on public transportation, including taxis. The meeting addressed the decision's possible effect on taxi fares in Kuwait, considering the fact that taxis top the list of gasoline consumers in Kuwait. The gasoline price increase goes into effect Sept 1. The committee did not make a public statement on the results of the meeting.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Salaf Forum rejected the government's decision to increase petrol prices, and found it strange it did not consider the recommendations of the National Assembly's finance committee, which called for compensating citizens for the increase, adding that the timing of the increase lacks wisdom and experience.
