Ghana Oil Company (GOIL) maintained its fuel prices for the current pricing window. Petrol remains at GH¢15.43 per litre. Diesel sells at GH¢17.26 per litre. This decision defies industry projections for an increase, which were driven by rising international crude oil prices.
The reason for GOIL's price hold remains unclear. This decision could impact other Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). OMCs were expected to review their prices on the same day. Potential influences include a desire to remain competitive. Government efforts to prevent a rise in transport fares could also be a factor. Transport unions had warned about rising fares.
