This comes after they had recommended a price drop three times. This decision comes as the war led by the United States and Israel against Iran, which is affecting oil prices, continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement issued after reviewing the technical note on the arrival of petroleum products on July 29, 2026, the Council suggests setting the price per gallon of gasoline at 700 gourdes, diesel at 770 gourdes, and kerosene at 765 gourdes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This recommendation is part of the CCSMP&#8217;s advisory role and in line with the decree of March 27, 2026, which determines the procedures for setting petroleum product prices. The Council specifically refers to Article 2, regarding the mechanism for calculating pump prices, as well as Article 6.3, which governs the adjustment process afterward.According to the CCSMP, the analysis of the latest shipment shows a &#8216;significant gap&#8217; between the prices currently applied at the pump and the actual prices resulting from the calculation mechanism. However, the Council believes that a full and immediate correction of this gap would have major consequences for consumers. It therefore advocates for a gradual increase in prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Pricing petroleum products can\u2019t be approached solely from an accounting and budgetary standpoint,&#8217; stresses the CCSMP, which points out the direct impact any fuel price increase has on transport costs, food prices, agriculture, trade, production, small businesses, and access to services.essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Under these conditions, \u201can immediate application of all the calculated real prices could increase the economic and social vulnerability of households,\u201d warns the CCSMP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The organization thus says it favors \u201cgradualism rather than a full pass-through of prices\u201d and \u201cbalance rather than a sudden increase.\u201d On this basis, it recommends prices of 700 gourdes for gasoline, 770 gourdes for diesel, and 765 gourdes for kerosene. The CCSMP presents these rates as an \u201ceconomic and social compromise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Advisory Council for Monitoring the Oil Market (CCSMP) recommends raising pump prices for petroleum products.
