Fuel Prices Expected To Go Up Significantly From November 16

• The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) announced that petroleum prices will go up on Sunday, November 16, 2025
• COPEC projects petrol, diesel, and LPG prices will increase due to the cedi’s depreciation against the dollar
• COPEC entreated Oil Marketing Companies to absorb some of the costs to ease the burden on consumers

The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) has disclosed that petroleum prices will be adjusted upward at the pumps starting Sunday, November 16, 2025.

COPEC stated that petrol prices are projected to rise by about 3.38 per cent, increasing from an average of GH¢12.18 per litre to GH¢12.59 per litre.

Diesel is expected to see a higher increase of about 9.81 per cent, moving from the current GH¢12.49 per litre to GH¢13.71 per litre.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is also expected to increase by 1.97 per cent to GH¢11.87 per kilogram.

COPEC explained that the price adjustments are due to an increase in global crude prices and fluctuations in the cedi. It added that the increases may vary slightly across pumps, with prices falling within a five per cent margin of the projected figures.
