Shell also increased the price of diesel from 3 cedis 29 pesewas to 3 cedis 39 pesewas per liter.

The increment is part of a two week price review window, following the full deregulation of the petroleum downstream sector.

OMCs are blaming the current hikes on the rise in the prices of oil on the international market currently at 46 dollars per barrel. However, COPEC is dissatisfied with the increment and the reasons given, citing the fact that exchange rates, which are a major decider of petroleum prices locally, have remained stable.
