Fuel Pricing
04How are fuel prices determined?

The formula takes into account the international reference price for refined petroleum products (Platts), published by S&P Global, the exchange rate provided by the Bank of Sierra Leone, and other costs incurred throughout the petroleum supply chain.

Fuel Pricing
05Why don't fuel prices fall immediately when global prices decline?

Fuel prices are reviewed periodically to minimise the impact of short-term international market fluctuations and promote price stability.
