Ghana’s fuel supply stable, no need for panic

The National Petroleum Authority has assured the public that Ghana has adequate fuel stocks and that the petroleum market remains stable despite growing concerns about developments in the global energy market.

The assurance follows reports and public commentary about the potential impact of global market conditions and rising tensions in the Middle East on fuel supply and pricing in the country.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, the Authority said it had conducted a review of national petroleum stock levels in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition and industry stakeholders.

The review, it said, confirmed that there are sufficient quantities of fuel available to meet current market demand.

“The NPA can confirm that sufficient quantities of Petrol (PMS), Diesel (AGO), Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK), and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) are available in the country to meet current and projected national demand,” part of the statement read.

According to the Authority, the government continues to implement proactive measures to safeguard supply reliability and maintain stability in the fuel market.

These measures, the statement explained, include continuous monitoring of national stock levels and coordination with international oil trading companies, bulk import and distribution companies, BOST Energies, and local refineries to ensure timely imports and consistent product availability across the country.

The NPA added that it is also strengthening strategic supply planning and price monitoring mechanisms to minimise the risk of supply disruptions or price volatility that may arise from shifts in the global petroleum market.

The Authority therefore urged the public to remain calm and avoid panic buying, stressing that the petroleum supply chain continues to function normally and that adequate stocks are available nationwide.

It reiterated its commitment to ensuring reliable fuel supply, transparent market operations and the protection of consumer interests, adding that the public will be updated on any major developments in the sector.
