It has also been announced that the price of diesel will decrease from $1.54 to $1.52 per litre.

FCCC say fuel prices have decreased due to the unfavourable movement in international prices and weakening of the US Dollar against the Fijian dollar based on October 2020 imports.

They say the LPG price in Fiji is impacted by the movement in Saudi Aramco Butane Contract Price and the increase noted in butane contract price, strengthening of USD against Fijian dollar and and increase in international freight rates on the October 2020 importation.
