The Government of Senegal has announced a reduction in the prices of automotive fuels (super gasoline and diesel) to ease the burden on transport operators and commuters.
Under the new pricing, petrol (super unleaded gasoline) is now sold at 920 FCFA per litre, down from 990 FCFA per litre, while diesel is sold at 680 FCFA per litre, down from 755 FCFA per litre.
The measure reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening household purchasing power, supporting economic operators, and promoting transparency in the pricing of petroleum products.
A statement jointly issued by the Minister of Energy, Petroleum and Mines and the Minister of Industry and Trade noted that the prices set are maximum rates.
Distributors are therefore authorized to offer lower prices, provided they comply with existing regulations.
The statement added that the relevant departments of the ministries concerned will monitor the proper implementation of these provisions across the national territory.
