Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA), yesterday, released new fuel tariffs in the country, indicating a slight increase in pump prices which took effect today.

According to a statement signed by RURA director-general, Patrick Nyirishema, pump prices in Kigali for petrol have increased to Rwf1,055 from Rwf1,042 per litre, while diesel has increased to Rwf1,037 from Rwf1,005.

The new changes represent an increase of Rwf13 and Rwf32 for petrol and diesel, respectively, going by the prices that had been set at the beginning of January 2018.

The review is done every two months depending on the fluctuation on global markets.
