Apia, Samoa – 01 August 2025 – The petroleum product prices have increased for the month of August.

Petrol increased by 9.7 sene per litre from $2.92 to $3.02; diesel by 15 sene per litre from 2.96 to $3.11, and kerosene by 13.1 sene per litre from 2.56 to $2.69.

The Ministry of Finance said the August prices are based on the June 2025 Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS) marker prices. The increase in MOPS for the month was a direct result of the escalation of the Iran/Israel conflict in early June, followed by the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities by the USA on 22 June.
