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).
Fuel prices are subject to ceilings, uniform throughout the country for gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. In Mar 2008, sharp increases in food and fuel prices sparked riots, injuring more than a dozen people. LPG prices have been frozen since 2008, and other fuel prices since April 2010. LPG prices set by the government are meant to be maximum prices, but often they represent minimum prices on the market. The Ministry of Commerce posts minimum and maximum prices of essential food and other items, including, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and LPG, by location several times a month. For LPG, the government price is the minimum observed on the market, and actual prices have been up to 39% higher. (Source: Kojima, Masami.
