Rising international oil prices
According to EPRA, the average landed cost of imported super petrol decreased by 7.87% from $948.92 per cubic metre in July 2026 to $874.26 per cubic metre in August 2026; Diesel increased by 11.86% from $855.59 per cubic metre to $957.05 per cubic metre while Kerosene increased by 9.71% from $915.01 per cubic metre to US$1003.87 per cubic metre over the same period.
However, oil prices in the international market have risen in recent weeks, following the renewed Middle East war.
BBC News reported that oil prices increased to $105 (KSh 13,603, based on the current exchange rate) per barrel in the first week of September 2026.
The fresh war between the US and Iran in the Gulf sparked fears over an increase in pump prices.
