Fuel prices are expected to go up at the pumps from Sunday, October 16, 2022, the Institute for Energy Security (IES) has projected.<\/p>\n
This is due to the increases in price of the products on the international market, and the significant decline in the value of the local currency against the American greenback or US dollar.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sharp rise in gasoline [petrol] and gasoil [diesel] prices on the global market may drive the price of domestic gasoline and gasoil rise higher, as against the rise in LPG [Liquefied Petroleum Gas] price. In IES\u2019 estimation, consumers of gasoline and gasoil may pay between 7% and 12% more for a liter at the pump in the next two weeks, with gasoil per liter price hinging close to \u00a215\u201d.<\/p>\n
It added that \u201calthough the rise in price of LPG on the world market was moderate, the significant fall in the value of the cedi, may cause the domestic selling price to rise by not less than 4 percent at the local pump\u201d.<\/p>\n
The IES however noted that competition for market share will account for variance in the rate of increases at the pump, across various OMCs.<\/p>\n
Prices of petroleum products went up during last pricing window<\/strong><\/p>\n Prices of finished products on the local market saw changes in the last pricing window across all Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs).<\/p>\n The national average price per litre of petrole stood at \u00a211.05, up from \u00a210.90 in the last window, representing a 1.36% increase.<\/p>\n The average price of diesel per litre fell to \u00a213.98, from \u00a214.45, representing a 3.25 percentage reduction.<\/p>\n The IES MarketScan picked Sel, GOIL, Total, and Shell\/Vivo as OMCs with the highest-priced fuel on the downstream petroleum market.<\/p>\n Tags: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fuel prices are expected to go up at the pumps from Sunday, October 16, 2022, the Institute for Energy Security (IES) has projected.
