The Ministry of Energy has assured Ghanaians that the government's temporary GH¢2.00 per litre reduction in the regulatory margin on diesel will not impose any additional financial burden on taxpayers. The Ministry said the intervention is being financed through adjustments to petroleum-related margins, levies and taxes within the existing fuel pricing structure, rather than through new taxes or resources allocated to other sectors of the economy. The clarification follows President John Dramani Mahama's directive for a temporary GH¢2.00 per litre reduction in the regulatory margin on diesel, effective Tuesday, August 4, 2026. It applies only to diesel, with no corresponding reduction for petrol.
