The National Petroleum Authority has reassured the public that Ghana possesses sufficient fuel reserves and that the petroleum market remains stable, despite increasing concerns regarding developments in the global energy market.
This reassurance comes in response to reports and public discussions about the possible effects of global market conditions and escalating tensions in the Middle East on fuel supply and pricing within the country.
In a statement released on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, the Authority indicated that it had performed a review of national petroleum stock levels in partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, as well as industry stakeholders.
The review confirmed that there are adequate quantities of fuel available to satisfy 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.
The Authority noted that the government is actively implementing measures to ensure supply reliability and maintain stability in the fuel market.
These measures, as explained in the statement, involve ongoing monitoring of national stock levels and collaboration with international oil trading companies, bulk import and distribution firms, BOST Energies, and local refineries to guarantee timely imports and consistent product availability throughout the country.
The NPA further stated that it is enhancing strategic supply planning and price monitoring systems to reduce the risk of supply disruptions or price fluctuations that may result from changes in the global petroleum market.
Consequently, the Authority urged the public to remain calm and refrain from panic buying, emphasising that the petroleum supply chain continues to operate normally and that adequate stocks are available nationwide.
It reaffirmed its dedication to providing a dependable fuel supply, maintaining transparent market operations, and safeguarding consumer interests, stating that the public will be informed of any significant developments in the sector.
