PETROL PRICES TO RISE THIS WEEK:<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

Motorists will pay more at the pumps this week.<\/p>\n

The announcement came from Prime Minister and Finance Minister Hon. Gaston Browne during the Browne and Browne show on Pointe FM Saturday evening.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Gasoline prices are to be increased from $15.15 to $17.50 cents per gallon while diesel prices will be increased from $15.23 to $17.25.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

There will be no increase in the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas or cooking gas.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister explained this is due to the escalating prices on the international market due to the fall-out from the war in Eastern Europe.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The war has resulted in supply and geopolitical shocks which have in turn affected spot prices.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Browne noted the government is unable to continue absorbing the level of increase.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

However, he said the government will continue to subsidise the transportation and fisheries sectors to tamp down the inflationary impact.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In addition, the government has reportedly taken fiscal measures to cushion the impact of the price build-up.<\/p>\n

Fuel prices have also been increased in other Caricom countries, including St Lucia and most recently, Suriname.<\/p>\n
