The Mozambican government announced on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, that diesel prices will increase by 45.5% and gasoline by 12.1%, effective Thursday, May 7. The decision was justified by rising international market rates.
According to the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy, the adjustment reflects the need to align domestic prices with global trends. The government had maintained fuel prices for over two months despite increasing costs.
The price hike is expected to impact transportation costs and the cost of goods across the country. No specific new price per liter was provided in the announcement.
