Fuel prices in Fiji are impacted by movements in the Means of Platts Singapore (MOPS), international freight rates and foreign exchange rates.

The Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission says it used the March 2024 Saudi Aramco Butane Contract Price (CP), international freight rates and foreign exchange rate to determine the local LPG product prices for May.

As part of the FCCC’s enforcement and compliance, its Enforcement Team will conduct inspections at wholesale/retail outlets and service stations to ensure prices of authorised petroleum and LPG products comply with the allowable maximum prices.

Consumers are advised to report any instances of unfair trading practice, such as hoarding and overcharging by traders.
