General News of Saturday, 18 January 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comFuel prices go up againFile photoPrices of fuel in Ghana have this week gone up marginally, vindicating the prediction made by the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) on Tuesday, January 14, 2020. Petrol as of Friday, January 17 was selling at GH 5.50 per litre at various pumps, up GHC 9 pesewas from its previous price of GHC 5.41. The marginal increase has been attributed to the upsurge in the price of the product on the international market. The Executive Secretary of COPEC, Duncan Amoah in a phone interview with GhanaWeb on January 14, 2020, indicated that “fuel prices may have to go up again because as we speak, oil companies have already taken the shield of some 6, 7 pesewas every litre they are selling. They are making loses to that amount and then the international market prices are also pushing upwards”.
