🚗 Why Do Fuel Prices Matter?

Fuel prices hit your pocket hard. When petrol or diesel prices go up, it becomes expensive to run cars, buses, and trucks. This also raises the cost of goods and services.

The Finance Division reviews prices twice a month. It releases updates after checking global crude oil prices, taxes, and local market trends.

In a recent press release, officials confirmed the prices will stay the same for now. This decision follows changes in the international crude oil market from October 2024 to February 2025.
