Last Update:

"Pricing policy: Prices have been uniform throughout the country since Aug 2001. Beginning in Jan 2012, gasoline and diesel prices are set by a ministerial decree. Prices were adjusted once in 2009 and 2010, and four times in 2011. In Jan 2012, prices of all fuels except kerosene were lowered, and were not adjusted for the rest of the year. In Jan 2013, the prices of gasoline and diesel were lowered, while kerosene and LPG prices did not change. An energy fund, created in 1994, has taken a few francs a liter from gasoline and diesel and cross-subsidized LPG. Fuel subsidies amounted to US$29 million in 2009 (0.5% of GDP), US$61 million in 2010 (1.1% of GDP), and US$70 million in 2011 (1.2% of GDP). With the start-up of oil production and refinery operation in 2011, explicit fuel price subsidies were eliminated in 2012 (source IMF).
