Fuel prices to go down by 10% – IES
The Institute for Energy Security, IES, is projecting prices of petrol and diesel to go down between 10% and 8% from Thursday, December 1, 2022.
This, the IES attributes to the 13.45% fall in the price of gasoline, the 11.63% fall in the price of Gasoil, and the 1.88% fall in the price of LPG.
The IEA notes that the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), however, is expected to remain stable due to the depreciation of the local currency.
“Prices of the various finished products will be affected by the 13.45% fall in the price of gasoline [petrol], the 11.63% fall in the price of gasoil [diesel], anand the 1.88% fall in the price of LPG.
However, the 3.09% depreciation of the cedi against the US dollar is expected to erode portions of the gains from the reductions in international fuel prices. The price of LPG is however expected to remain stable on account of the cedi’s depreciation”.
World Oil Market
On the international market, Brent crude saw a 6.31% decrease in price over the previous window’s average price of $95.11 per barrel to the present average price of $89.11 per barrel.

Presently, crude oil is hovering around $86 per barrel.
