Prices of fuel products will remain unchanged from now till the end of the year, the National Petroleum Authority has announced.

According to the Authority prices of the products at the pumps are expected to remain stable over the pricing window, 16th December to 31st December 2017.

“This is as a result of a marginal drop of fuel prices on the world market. The Exchange Rate has also remained relatively stable,” the NPA said in a statement.

“Additionally, in line with a directive from the Ministry of Energy, the Authority has activated the price stabilization mechanism to avoid any upward adjustment in prices,” the statement indicated.

It said: “The Authority has therefore adjusted the PRICE STABILIZATION and RECOVERY LEVY (PSRL) on Diesel and LPG. This adjustment will not result in any price increment.”

“The Authority assures the general public that it will be monitoring the prices to ensure consumers benefit from government’s decision to use the PSRL to manage variations at the pumps.”
