“At the current average price of $ 104.56 a barrel, resulting in $ 1,057.44 metric tons of petrol and $ 1,138.33 per ton of diesel metric in the international market, corresponding to the exchange rate of $ 1: GH ¢ 7.8165 and government tax rebate 15 still in existence, COPEC awaits preliminary fuel prices in the next tariff window, from May 1 to May 15, "the release said.
It said that given that there is no sudden disruption of crude oil prices, which could lead to a change in the price of petrol and diesel in the international market, then the prices of front pumps are expected to be in line with the figures in the next window.
“The expected increase in fuel prices is due to the depreciation of the dollar and the increase in the price of finished products (petrol and diesel) in the international market despite falling prices.
