Fuel Prices: Star Oil stays put as other OMCs adjust rates

Star Oil, a leading player in Ghana’s downstream oil sector, has announced that it will maintain the prices of its petroleum products for the first pricing window of September 2025.

The decision comes against a backdrop of a balanced market outlook, highlighted in the September report by the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC).

According to COMAC, while supply management and geopolitical risks are helping to support prices, economic softness and the growing renewable energy sector are limiting the potential for significant increases.

The report also noted that between August 12 and August 26, 2025, the Ghanaian cedi depreciated sharply against the US dollar, sliding from GH¢10.77 to GH¢11.40.

This 3.98% decline, the largest recorded since the start of the year, has influenced fuel price dynamics in the country.
