National Petroleum Authority Assures Adequate Fuel Stocks Amid Global Market Concerns
The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has assured the public that Ghana currently has sufficient fuel reserves and that the country’s petroleum market remains stable despite heightened concerns about developments in the global energy landscape.
The assurance comes amid increasing public discussion over the potential effects of global market dynamics, particularly rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, on fuel availability and pricing within the country.
In a statement released on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, the Authority disclosed that it had undertaken a review of national petroleum stock levels in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition and other industry stakeholders.
The assessment, according to the NPA, confirmed that current fuel stocks are adequate to satisfy prevailing demand levels.
“The NPA can confirm that sufficient quantities of Petrol (PMS), Diesel (AGO), Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK), and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) are available in the country to meet current and projected national demand,” a portion of the statement noted.
The Authority further indicated that government continues to roll out proactive interventions aimed at safeguarding supply reliability and maintaining stability across the petroleum market.
Among the measures being implemented are continuous surveillance of national fuel stock levels and coordinated engagement with international oil trading firms, bulk import and distribution companies, BOST Energies, as well as local refineries to ensure prompt imports and uninterrupted product availability across the country.
Additionally, the NPA noted that it is intensifying strategic supply planning and enhancing price monitoring systems to mitigate the risk of supply interruptions or price volatility that could stem from shifts in the global petroleum market.
The Authority has therefore called on the public to remain calm and refrain from panic buying, emphasising that the petroleum supply chain continues to operate smoothly and that sufficient fuel stocks remain available nationwide.
It reiterated its commitment to guaranteeing reliable fuel supply, promoting transparency within the market, and protecting consumer interests, adding that the public will be kept informed of any significant developments within the sector.
