Last Update:

No official information regarding fuel prices could be found on the governments web pages. The “Ministere des Mines et de l’Energie” appears to be responsible for the regulation and supervision of the fuel market. However, no information could be found on their web page, as the “Hydrocarbure” section appears to be offline.

An internet article (→Annex A1) states, that there exists an automatic fuel price formula, which was installed on recommendation of the World Bank.

According to several articles, prices seem to change a couple of times each year.

In April of 2010, a strike of mainly taxi and bus drivers forced the government to reduce the price of Diesel. This reduction was probably not compliant with the pricing formula. However, the price for gasoline remained unchanged, as the majority of the striking interest groups uses diesel only (→Annex A2).
