Retail Fuel Prices in PNG to Decrease in December, 2019

The Independent Consumer and Competition Commission (“ICCC”) hereby announces the new retail fuel prices for this month, which will take effect on Sunday, 8thDecember, 2019.
According to the ICCC’s calculations, retail prices for petrol will increase while diesel and kerosene prices will slightly decrease on average throughout PNG as of 8th December.


Fuel price movements continue to be influenced by factors beyond the control of ICCC. The increase in the price for petrol is attributed to the decrease in Singapore’s commercial supplies of light distillates (which include petrol) while the increase in supplies of middle distillates (which include diesel and kerosene) has led to the slight decrease in diesel and kerosene prices.
The domestic retail fuel prices for this month are inclusive of the Import Parity Prices (IPP), domestic sea and road freight rates for the fourth quarter of 2019, the 2019 wholesale and retail margins, excise duty, and the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

PORT MORESBY
As a result of adding all the various cost components mentioned above, the maximum retail prices for fuel in Port Moresby are as follows:
