Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA) on Tuesday released new fuel tariffs in the country, indicating a slight increase in pump prices which took effect Wednesday.

According to a statement signed by RURA director-general, Patrick Nyirishema, the pump prices in Kigali have gone up to Rwf1,042 per litre and Rwf1,005 for petrol and diesel respectively.

The new prices represent an increase of Rwf11 for each litre of either petrol or diesel going by the prevailing prices that had been set at the beginning of November.

The review is done every two months depending on the fluctuation on global markets.
