Fuel prices may suffer fluctuations in the next few days in the Mozambican market due to the international situation.
The information was provided by the Government, through the national director for hydrocarbons and fuels, at the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy, Moisés Paulino, on Wednesday, 19 April.
According to the official, the government will review the decree on the structure of fuel prices, which may lead to fluctuations in market prices, countering the effectiveness of measures to contain them in the coming days.
“The measure aims to ensure that the fall in oil production in the international market does not impact on supply and demand in the national territory,” Moisés Paulino clarified.
To Diário Económico (DE), a source from the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy confirmed the information, promising to give more details in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Paulino called on consumers to adopt careful management in the face of reduced production of fuel on the international market.
The minister also referred that there has been a harmonisation of positions with the petrol companies and one of the elements that has been on the table of discussions is the debt that the Government has with them.
The State’s debt, which has been incurred since mid-2021, to the petrol companies totals US$400 million.
