The Government has announced a temporary reduction in fuel costs, absorbing GH¢2.00 per litre on diesel and GH¢0.36 per litre on petrol, effective April 16, 2026.
The intervention, which takes effect in the next pricing window, is aimed at cushioning consumers and easing the financial burden on households, transport operators and businesses.
The decision, approved by Cabinet, follows rising petroleum prices on the international market, which have driven up ex-pump prices in Ghana in recent weeks.
The measure communicated in a statement by the Presidency released on Wednesday, April 15, will be in place for one month, during which it will monitor global oil price trends and assess the need for further adjustments.
Government further reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining price stability, protecting livelihoods and supporting the country’s economic recovery amid external pressures.
