"Currently, Kenya imports all its petroleum product requirements in refined form and the products are traded in international markets based on a pricing benchmark," EPRA stated.

"Further, the trade of petroleum products in the international markets is denominated in United States Dollars and an exchange rate is applied to convert the US Dollar to Kenya Shilling during the computation of local pump prices."

Reduction in oil prices globally

Globally, oil prices decreased by a slim margin, raising hopes that the same will be reflected in the new prices of fuel in the country.

Central Bank of Kenya noted in its weekly bulletin on Friday, September 13, that the decrease was attributed to a decline in demand of oil globally.

“The Murban oil price declined to USD 72.34 per barrel on September 12 from USD 72.99 per barrel on September 5,” read the report in part.
