Petrol prices in Africa by month: tracker for every country with an official price

The official petrol price per litre, month by month, in each country's own currency. Prices come from the regulator or statistics office and are the figures on each country's fuel price page.

  • Refresh: Monthly, when each regulator publishes a new price.
  • Last update: 10 Oct 2026. Latest month shown: Oct 2026.
  • Coverage: 9 countries with an official price and at least two readings in the period. Market-priced countries have no official price and are not shown.

Each chart has its own scale, because the currencies differ. Compare the direction and the percentage change, not the height.

Each month shows the price in force on its last day. A regulated price stays in force until the regulator changes it. Nigeria publishes a national monthly average, so it has a value only for months the National Bureau of Statistics has published. A blank cell means no price in our data for that month.
