JUST IN: New Official Fuel Prices Announced By ZERA
The government, through the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA), has officially announced new fuel prices after having been in denial since Monday.
Two hours ago, ZERA sent out a strong statement warning fuel companies against raising the price and hoarding, but in a dramatic turn of events, the fuel price has since been hiked.
Some commentators are of the view that ZERA was forced to raise prices after fuel dealers stopped selling, anticipating the price to go up.
In a statement on Tuesday, ZERA announced that with effect from May 21, 2019, the price of diesel has been pegged at $4.89 while petrol will be sold at $4.97.
Since these new prices are applicable for 5 days, it means fuel might go up again depending on the interbank rate movement.
