The prices of petrol and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) are expected to go up marginally from August 16, 2025. However, that of diesel is expected to go down from this weekend.
This is based on the outlook report that guides the pricing of the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) in the country, by the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC).
Projected Prices at Pumps
According to the report, the price of petrol at the pumps is projected to increase by 0.39 -2.71% per liter from August 16, 2025.
LPG will be increased by up to 2.34 percent per kilogram.
However, that of diesel will be reduced by 0.72 percent per litre.
Reasons
According to the COMAC, the mixed pricing outlook has been influenced by the cedi experiencing some slight depreciation against the US dollar.
“The rate shifted from GHC 10.68 to GHC 10.77, reflecting a 0.8% decline” the chamber pointed out in the report.
The Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies also added that the projected pump increase aligns with global market trends, with minimal increases expected for petrol and LPG.
