Fuel prices in Ghana are expected to decline slightly in the second pricing window, which begins on April 16, following new benchmarks set by the National Petroleum Authority.
Petrol will sell at a minimum of GH¢13.27 per litre, down from GH¢13.30 in the first pricing window. Diesel will see a more significant reduction, dropping to GH¢16.10 per liter from GH¢17.10, marking a GH¢1 decrease.
However, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) will increase slightly to GH¢10.79 per kilogram, up from GH¢10.71.
The adjustments show a downward trend for petrol and diesel, offering some relief to consumers. LPG prices, however, continue to rise gradually.
Under Ghana’s petroleum pricing guidelines, the price floor represents the minimum rate at which oil marketing companies can sell fuel.
These prices exclude international trading premiums and operational margins, which are determined independently by companies.
The new pricing window takes effect on April 16, ahead of a possible government intervention.
Authorities are expected to announce the suspension of selected taxes and margins to cushion consumers against persistent fuel price pressures.
