The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) has warned that fuel prices are expected to rise again from Saturday, November 16, 2025, due to surging global crude prices and a weakened 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 prices are expected to see a significantly higher jump of 9.81%, increasing from GHS12.49 to GHS13.71 per litre.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) consumers will also feel the impact, with prices expected to go up by 1.97%, reaching GHS11.87 per kilogram.
COPEC explained that the anticipated adjustments reflect rising international petroleum prices and currency depreciation, which continue to push up the cost of fuel imports.
The Chamber indicated that while actual pump prices may differ slightly across Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), the variations will likely fall within a 5% margin of the projected figures.
Duncan Amoah appealed to OMCs to apply some relief measures to protect consumers from steep price shocks.
“We appeal to OMCs to absorb part of the increases to avoid burdening consumers with steep hikes,” he said.
