Price Of Fuel Increased

The Department of State for Finance and Economic Affairs wishes to inform
the general public that the prices of Petrol, Diesel and Kerosine are
increased as follows: Petrol is raised from D8.95 to D9.75 per litre, Diesel
is increased from D6.75 to 7.75 per litre and Kerosine from D4.25 to D4.90
per litre. The new prices are effective with effect today. This increase, a
press release from the ministry said, is as a result of the high oil prices
experienced throughout the year 2000 which is still discernable in the
current year. In addition, the change will also avert the substantial
government revenue loss associated with these upward trend of oil prices.
