Diesel is expected to be sold at a maximum price of GH\u00a214.60 per litre. However, other oil marketing companies are likely to sell diesel for GH\u00a212.80 or below and these are the smaller Oil Marketing Companies like Zen, Star Oil, Goodness and the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith respect to petrol, the expected maximum price for this same pricing window is likely to be GH\u00a211.88 per litre and the minimum price is expected to be GH\u00a29.30 per litre and the smaller OMCs such as Zen, Goodness, and Star Oil are also expected to sell petrol for GH\u00a29 within the window.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ghana recorded astronomical fuel price increases in the November 1 pricing window when a litre of diesel was sold for GH\u00a223.49 per litre with petrol and kerosene also selling at GH\u00a217.99 per litre and GH\u00a214.70 per litre respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation became dire and President Akufo-Addo in his address to the nation on the economy revealed that the government was \u201cworking to secure reliable and regular sources of affordable petroleum products for the Ghanaian market. It is expected that this arrangement, when successful, coupled with a stable currency, will halt the escalation of fuel prices and bring relief to us all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
