Fuel prices in Moz.

Also latest on fuel prices: (From allafrica.com):

The sharpest increase is for petrol. A litre of petrol rises in price
by 17 per cent, from 26.57 to 31.09 meticais (at current exchange
rates, there are about 34.1 meticais to the US dollar).

A litre of diesel will now cost 28.16, rather than 24.7 meticais, an
increase of 14 per cent. As for kerosene, its price goes up by 15 per
cent from 17.92 to 20.61 meticais a litre.

The smallest increase, just four per cent, is for LPG cooking gas,
which rises from 42.77 to 44.48 meticais a kilo.

These prices are for the port cities of Maputo, Matola, Beira and
Nacala, where the fuel is unloaded. Elsewhere in the country, fuel
distribution companies are allowed to include their transport costs
when calculating the final price to the consumer.

Fuel prices were frozen between March 2009 and March 2010. During this
period, the government kept fuel prices low by subsidizing the fuel
companies. As from March, the government has been gradually removing
the subsidy, and so further price rises are likely in coming months.

This off allafrica.com:

Maputo — Mozambican Energy Minister Salvador Namburete announced on
Thursday that, as from midnight, fuel prices will rise by between 10
and 19.1 per cent.

The steepest rise, of 19.1 per cent, is for petrol. A litre of petrol
rises in price from 31.09 to 37.02 meticais (at current exchange
rates, there are about 33.6 meticais to the US dollars). The price of
a litre of kerosene rises by 17 per cent, from 20.61 to 24.11
meticais.

For both diesel and LPG cooking gas the rise is 10 per cent. A litre
of diesel will now cost 30.98 rather than 28.16 meticais, while a kilo
of gas goes up from 44.48 to 48.93 meticais.

These prices are valid for Maputo, Matola, Beira and Nacala - the port
cities where the refined fuels are unloaded. Elsewhere in the country,
fuel distribution companies may add their transport costs when
calculating the final price.

This is the third rise in fuel prices this year. The government froze
the prices between March 2009 and March 2010. As from June, this
entailed paying heavy subsidies to the fuel distribution companies.
Namburete told a press conference at his Ministry that the total
amount of these subsidies was about 160 million US dollars.

But, apparently it will only be by 10%. So by April petrol will cost
about MT46 (R10), and diesel about MT38 (R8) per litre. These prices
are for main coastal cities - inland charges increase by up to 15%.
