The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) has increased the pump price of Petrol (E20) by 1 cent to US$1.60 per litre, while that of Diesel 50 has also increased by 1 cent to US$1.63 per litre.
In a public notice, ZERA said the new prices are effective from 07 August 2024 to 04 September 2024.
ZERA also announced fuel prices in ZiG even though the product is not available in the local currency.
The price of diesel has been set at ZiG22.42 per litre, while petrol now costs ZiG22.08 per litre. ZERA said:
The public and operators are advised that the blending ratio is at E20. Operators may sell the petroleum products below the prescribed prices depending on their trading advantages and should display prices in a prominent place as provided for by the fuel pricing regulations.
