The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) has forecast slight increases in petrol and diesel prices during the first pricing window of March 2026, while Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is expected to see a small decline.
In its latest report dated February 24, 2026, COPEC attributed the anticipated changes to rising international crude oil prices, despite a modest strengthening of the Ghanaian cedi against the US dollar. Petrol prices are projected to rise by about 3.59%, diesel by 1.52%, while LPG could drop by 1.57%.
Based on these projections, petrol may retail between GH¢11.80 and GH¢13.00 per litre, diesel between GH¢12.73 and GH¢14.00 per litre, and LPG between GH¢11.48 and GH¢12.69 per kilogram.
COPEC’s Executive Secretary, Duncan Amoah, has urged oil marketing companies to keep prices stable to avoid adding financial strain on consumers
