The Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) is urging the government for further intervention to support petrol users, predicting that petrol prices will rise by 4.80% and diesel prices by 2.10% from September 1, 2026. COMAC's CEO, Dr. Riverson Oppong, argues that a reduction of at least GH¢1 per litre of petrol would provide relief comparable to the current GH¢2 per litre cut for diesel, benefiting commercial transport and industry.
Oppong acknowledges the government's financial dependence on taxes, yet he calls for consideration of petrol users during the upcoming price hike, emphasizing that even a modest relief would alleviate the burden on consumers.
