Fuel prices are expected to rise across pumps from Saturday, November 16, 2025, the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) has announced, citing increasing global crude prices and the weakening cedi.
In a statement signed by its Executive Secretary, Duncan Amoah, COPEC projected that petrol prices will increase by about 3.38%, moving from an average of GHS12.18 to GHS12.59 per litre. Diesel, the statement noted, could see a much sharper jump of 9.81%, rising from GHS12.49 to GHS13.71 per litre.
LPG consumers are also expected to feel the pinch, with prices projected to go up by 1.97%, reaching GHS11.87 per kilogram.
COPEC explained that the expected adjustments reflect international market trends and currency pressures affecting petroleum import costs. The Chamber added that the actual increases may differ slightly at various pumps, but would likely fall within a five percent margin of the projected figures.
Duncan Amoah urged Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to cushion consumers where possible. “We appeal to OMCs to absorb part of the increases to avoid burdening consumers with steep hikes,” he said.
