Ghana's minimum petrol price for the November 1–15 pricing window fell 4.4% to 15.39 GHS (€1.17) a liter, while the diesel floor rose 1.9% to 17.41 GHS (€1.33), Joy Business reported on October 29, citing market data on the National Petroleum Authority's price floors. The floor for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) eased to 13.73 GHS (€1.05) a kilogram.
Analysis: The minimum petrol price has declined 6.4% since October 1, while LPG remains 23.7% above its early-October level despite a small latest reduction, by our calculation. That LPG cut is difficult to reconcile with the 21.33% increase in international LPG prices cited for the review period, and the report does not explain the difference. Lower petrol costs may help motorists, while higher diesel prices put pressure on transport, mining and farming operations. Actual retail prices can exceed the floor, so households' savings will depend on filling-station pricing. New minimum prices take effect November 16.
