Several oil marketing companies (OMCs) in Ghana have begun adjusting pump prices downward at the start of the January 2026 pricing window, according to checks by the Ghana Eye Report.
The marginal reductions, according to industry players, are linked to two key factors, including a strengthening Ghana cedi against the US dollar, which lowers the cost of imported petroleum products.
Lower international crude oil and refined product prices, which have eased costs for importers and allowed some savings to be passed on to consumers.
As of early January, petrol is being sold around GH¢10.86 per litre at some outlets.
Diesel has seen similar small cuts, for example, around GH¢11.96 per litre in some stations.
Other grades like RON 95 are also slightly cheaper relative to late December.
The Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) projected for the January pricing window that:
Petrol could fall by about 2.4%–4.8%,
Diesel by around 3.77%,
LPG by about 2.19%.
More OMCs are expected to implement similar cuts during January if the cedi remains strong and global crude prices stay low.
The reductions offer modest relief for commuters and transport operators at the start of the year, which could help ease travel and goods transport costs.
Further small adjustments are possible as competitive pressure among marketers continues through the month. Enditem
