Same goes for diesel, as the expected retail price could decline from the current average of GH\u00a223.43 per litre to an average of GH\u00a220.25 per litre.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest gainer and scare will however be liquefied petroleum gas, which is expected to rise from GH\u00a212.10 per kilogram to a likely retail price of GH\u00a213.51 per kilogram.<\/p>\n<p>COPEC said the expected decline in the prices of petroleum and diesel is largely due to a \u201cstronger intervention by the Bank Of Ghana with specific emphasis on petroleum import and space through targeted forex auctions.\u201d The Chamber, once again, reiterated the need to revamp the Tema Oil Refinery to complement the country\u2019s energy demands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe entreat the Bank of Ghana to not make this intervention in the forex supply a nine-day wonder but to step up efforts to guarantee the needed forex to particularly the petroleum importation market while reminding our leaders on the urgent need to fix and operationalise the currently idle Tema Oil Refinery to contribute its quota to the much-needed fuel security and stability of the cedi whiles encouraging a rethink of the strategic role originally assigned the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation (BOST).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
