IES cautions that fuel prices are set to rise in April
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Nana Amoasi VII, the Executive Director of the Institute for Energy Security (IES), foresees a significant fuel price hike in the coming weeks.

According to a directive dated April 3, 2024, distributed to stakeholders in the oil marketing and distribution sector, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) instructed additional charges: 16 pesewas per litre for Petrol, 14 pesewas per litre for Diesel, and 14 pesewas per kilogram of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).

This directive followed the NPA’s decision to suspend the Price Stabilization and Recovery Levy on petroleum products. Consequently, state-owned Oil Marketing Company, GOIL, has adjusted its prices, with petrol and diesel now selling at GH¢14.15 per litre and GH¢14.74 per litre, respectively.

These adjustments by GOIL took effect on April 4, 2024.

This recent spike in fuel prices marks the highest increase since February 2023, when a litre of fuel sold for GH¢15.40 and GH¢15.50 for diesel.

In an interview on an Accra based radio station on Friday, Nana Amoasi VII criticised the suspension, stating that it lacked thorough deliberation before implementation.

He pointed out that the levy had not succeeded in its goal of stabilising fuel prices, referencing past instances where prices reached GH¢18 per litre in 2022.

Nana Amoasi VII cautioned about an upcoming surge in fuel prices, suggesting that prices could potentially reach around GH¢14.05 per litre, leading to a double increase.

“The suspension of the levy was not well-thought through because it was clear in the statement that it was intended to relieve consumers of intending price hikes which are necessitated by happenings on the world market and also our own forex market. Then the OMCs increase fuel prices in response to the domestic foreign market and the international fuel market.

Unfortunately, a day or two, the NPA comes to say we are reversing the suspension of that levy which is meant to cushion consumers and this time around, the NPA fails to give the reasons for the suspension.”

“We have not seen any impact of this levy on fuel prices over the years because it has not been able to stabilise prices and prices shot up as high as GH¢18 per litre somewhere in 2022 and we are seeing the same thing now. What is going to happen is that fuel is going to increase again. Few have done it already and others are yet to do it and prices will roughly rise GH¢14.05 and so fuel prices will soon see a double increase,” stated.
