The Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA) has raised the prices for petrol and diesel, citing the volatility in the global oil market.
The new prices, which will take effect on April 4, mean that the pump for petrol has increased to Rwf 1,359 per litre from 1,256. Diesel was increased from 1,201 per litre to Rwf 1,368.
Normally, the prices are reviewed every two months which means upon the old price the new ones were expected to be released on May 5, according to RURA in a statement.
