The Presidency has announced temporary relief measures to reduce the impact of rising global oil prices on Ghanaian consumers, effective April 16, 2026.
Under the intervention, the government will absorb GHC2.00 per litre on diesel and GHC0.36 per litre on petrol during the next pricing window to ease the cost burden on households, transport operators, and businesses.
According to a statement issued on April,15, the Cabinet-approved measure responds to sharp increases in international petroleum product prices, which have significantly pushed up ex-pump prices in Ghana.
The intervention will be in place for one month, during which authorities will closely monitor developments in the global oil market and determine whether further policy adjustments are necessary.
The Government reiterated its commitment to maintaining price stability, protecting livelihoods, and supporting Ghana’s economic recovery amid external shocks affecting fuel costs and the wider economy.
