Fuel price to fall between 2% and 4% in coming days – IES

Starting tomorrow, August 1, 2024, the price of petroleum products—diesel, gasoline, and liquefied petroleum gas—is anticipated to decrease by 2% to 4%.

This comes after the Ghanaian cedi’s depreciation slowed down in the second part of July 2024 due to favorable global market conditions.

 

The Institute for Energy Security (IES) reports that during the second half of July 2024, the price of gasoline, diesel, and LPG decreased by 2.99% and 4.59%, respectively.

 

In the second half of July 2024, specifically, the price of gasoline (petrol) decreased by 2.99%, gasoil (diesel) by 4.59%, and LPG by 1.10%. Additionally, the depreciation of the Ghana cedi decreased to 0.52%, the lowest level since February 2024.

“Following the positive realization on the foreign fuel market coupled with the slowed depreciation of Ghana Cedi recorded on the domestic forex market, the Institute for Energy Security (IES) projects a fall in fuel prices in the coming days”.

 

World Oil Market

 

The second pricing window for July 2024 for the first time since the post-OPEC+ meeting, saw Brent crude futures drop below $80 per barrel.

 

This was driven lower by disappointing global demand as Chinese imports in July 2024 hit the lowest level in two years.

 

Brent Crude traded at $78.70 per barrel, compared to $83.03 per barrel at the start of the pricing window.

 

Local Fuel Market Performance

The second pricing window for July 2024 saw the price of liquid fuels jump at the pumps on the local fuels market.

 

Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) increased the price per liter of petrol by GH¢0.30 and gasoline by GH¢.20 respectively.

 

The IES computation of the national average price for the three refined petroleum products for the first pricing window for July 2024 showed petrol and diesel selling at GH¢14.23 and GH¢14.70 per liter respectively, whereas LPG  went for GH¢15.22 per kilogram.
