The fuel pump prices for premium super have fallen from Rwf940 to Rwf925 per litre while diesel prices fell from Rwf940 to Rwf917 due to the continued drop in oil prices on the international market.

Opira Robert, the Coordinator of Petroleum Unit in the Ministry of Trade and Industry said that the decision to reduce the prices was reached at by both the Ministry and the fuel dealers.

In the past few weeks, the international oil prices per barrel have continuously fallen by almost 10 percent which has inspired Rwanda to revise pump prices.

Rwanda reviews its fuel status every end of month with stakeholders deciding whether to increase or reduce the prices.
