Ghana is one of the African nations with the highest fuel prices.
Ghana is now at the top of the list of African nations with extremely high fuel prices due to the country’s steady increase in fuel prices since September, thus riding a bike to work may soon become necessary, if not already.
Fuel prices in Ghana are now around GH¢ 7 ($1.142) per litre, compared to the African average of GH¢ 5.978 ($0.98).
Although Ghana’s price is still far lower than the global average of GH¢ 9.28 ($1.5), it comes 11th on the table of 44 African countries with the most expensive fuel.
This is according to data analyzed from Global Petrol Prices, an open source platform that gathers data on the cost of different fuels across the world.
The data gathered from official government sources, regulatory agencies and petroleum companies show that on the continent of Africa, fuel is least expensive in Algeria, selling at GH¢ 1.22 ($0.20) per litre, while Zimbabwe holds the unenviable title as the country with the highest fuel price selling at GH¢9.76 ($1.6) per litre.
