In the current pricing window, the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) has projected a slight increase in fuel prices.

According to the Executive Secretary of COPEC, Duncan Amoah, petrol and diesel prices are anticipated to rise by approximately 9% compared to the current pump prices.

Furthermore, the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is expected to see a 20 percent increase.

The primary reason behind the increase in petroleum products is the surge in international market prices for fuel.

Duncan Amoah pointed out that crude oil also witnessed a rise of 10.53 percent, with the mean price escalating from $75.85 per barrel to $83.84 per barrel.

As a result, petrol is projected to be sold at GH¢13.27 per litre at pumps, while diesel is expected to be priced at GH¢13.93 per litre.

Previously, petrol was being sold at GH¢12.45 per litre, and diesel was priced at GH¢12.55 per litre.
