The Ministry of Finance has confirmed new retail fuel prices effective from 1 October 2025.
According to the announcement, both petrol and diesel prices will drop, while kerosene will see a slight increase. The changes, inclusive of VAGST, are as follows:
- Petrol: decreases by 2.9 sene per litre, from $2.99 to $2.96
- Diesel: decreases by 7.2 sene per litre, from $3.16 to $3.08
- Kerosene: increases by 1.2 sene per litre, from $2.66 to $2.67
The Ministry stated that these October prices are based on cargo uplifts from Singapore in August, which were delivered into Apia in September.
Movements in global oil prices remain influenced by supply conditions, political developments, and broader economic factors. The Ministry noted that while the past three months have been relatively stable, fluctuations are expected to continue in the months ahead.
