Fuel prices increase

    ABIDJAN

    Zimbabwe on Thursday increased fuel prices by between 40 and 100 percent, the second increase in two months as the country reels from serious fuel shortages because of foreign currency shortages.

    Media reports said diesel prices were increased by 54 percent, leaded fuel by 40 percent and paraffin by 100 percent.

    The state-run oil procurement agency, National Oil Company of Zimbabwe (NOCZIM) said the changes were necessitated by the recent devaluation of the Zimbabwean dollar and escalating international oil prices.
