"Automatic price adjustment mechanism was suspended in 2004 and resumed in Jun 2012. Government sets maximum retail prices, uniform throughout the country, for gasoline, diesel, and kerosene every month. The prices are adjusted when landed costs in local currency vary by more than ±5%. When the variation is less than ±5%, a price stabilization fund is used. There are numerous fuel levies: energy regulation levy to finance the activities of the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA), road levy, Malawi Bureau of Standards cess, safety net levy which contributes to development projects for the poor including a fertilizer subsidy program, and contribution to the price stabilization fund."
