The Presidency has announced temporary measures to ease the impact of rising petroleum prices on households, transport operators, and businesses.
Effective Thursday, April 16, 2026, the Government will absorb GH¢2.00 per litre on diesel and GH¢0.36 per litre on petrol. The intervention, approved by Cabinet, is designed to cushion consumers amid global market volatility that has sharply increased ex-pump prices in Ghana.
According to the statement issued by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, MP, Spokesperson to the President and Minister of Government Communications, the measure will remain in force for one month. During this period, Government will monitor developments in the international oil market and assess the need for further policy adjustments.
Officials emphasized that the move reflects Government’s commitment to maintaining price stability, protecting livelihoods, and supporting Ghana’s economic recovery in the face of external shocks.
