Some Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have began increasing prices of petroleum products at the pumps.
Goil has taken the lead, selling at litre of diesel and petrol at ¢12.45 from its previous price of ¢12.30 a litre.
The increase is in line with the biweekly review of prices at the pumps.
The latest increase, according to some stakeholders is due to the cedi’s performance and the price of crude oil on the international market.
It is expected that more OMCs will also adjust prices of petroleum products upward later today, June 1, 2023.
