Fuel prices up by 15 percent

    ABIDJAN
    Fuel prices in Ghana have been increased by 15 percent, Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) radio announced on Tuesday. GBC said the new prices, which took effect immediately, were announced on Tuesday at a news conference by the general manager of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited, Kwabena Donkoh. He linked the hike to higher import prices. The new prices -per litre- are premium petrol, 855.56 cedis; diesel, 822.23 cedis and kerosene, 600 cedis. Liquid petroleum gas now sells at 920 cedis per kilogramme. The cedi’s exchange value is about 2,500 to the dollar.
