Higher fuel prices may soon affect Ghana. An energy analyst has raised concerns about potential increases in the cost of petroleum products.
This warning comes as tensions in the Middle East threaten key shipping lanes used for transporting oil.
Importers may have to use longer or more expensive routes to get fuel to Ghana.
Benjamin Nsiah, who leads the Centre for Environmental Management and Sustainable Energy, spoke about the situation.
He explained that these changes in shipping could directly impact the prices consumers pay at the pump.
The exact timing and extent of the price hikes are not yet known.
However, the risk to supply routes means potential cost increases for fuel in Ghana.
Businesses and consumers could face financial strain if fuel prices rise significantly.
