COPEC, the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers, has forecasted significant price hikes for petrol and diesel in Ghana, effective from Wednesday, 16 September. The organization anticipates petrol prices to increase by 4.24% to approximately GH¢16.26 per litre, while diesel prices are expected to rise by a more substantial 10.23% to around GH¢19.07 per litre.
Additionally, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is projected to see a price increase to about GH¢15.32 per kilogramme. The projected rises are primarily attributed to a sharp surge in international crude oil and refined petroleum product prices, which COPEC asserts outweigh a slight improvement in the cedi's value against the US dollar.
