Yes. Fuel prices are approved by the Government using the approved pricing formula to ensure fair, transparent and sustainable pricing.
Fuel prices are determined using an approved pricing formula. 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 prices are reviewed periodically to minimise the impact of short-term international market fluctuations and promote price stability.
