Maputo — The Mozambican Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy has announced a cut in the prices of diesel, kerosene and LPG cooking gas, taking effect as from midnight on Friday.
The price of a litre of diesel falls from 60.16 to 58.96 meticais (from 87 to 85 US cents), a reduction of two per cent.
Kerosene falls in price by 6.6 per cent, from 48.44 to 45.24 meticais a litre.
Fuel prices are now rising again on the world market, because of the easing of the Covid-19 lockdowns in various European, American and Asian countries, and because of cuts in supply by members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
The June fuel prices in Mozambique are based on fuel unloaded in May, and the prices per barrel for that fuel are those of February and March.
