Fuel prices at the pumps are projected to see marginal increases in the first pricing window of October 2025, according to the latest outlook by the Chamber of Maritime and Petroleum Consumers (COMAC).
The projection shows petrol, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices could rise between 0.35% and 2.47% for petrol, 1.36% and 3.41% for diesel, and 2.01% and 4.01% for LPG between October 1 and 15, 2025.
COMAC attributes the expected increases to rising international product prices and the seasonal depreciation of the cedi. The report notes that the cedi fell from GHS12.07 to GHS12.40 per dollar, a 2.74% drop in the period, bringing total losses in the third quarter to 15.09%.
Brent crude oil prices reversed a recent dip, rising 1.57% from $67.39 to $68.45 per barrel, with forecasts indicating a rebound to $70 per barrel. The increase is being driven by heightened geopolitical risks and renewed supply concerns.
