As Government removes subsidies on fuel effective 1st October 2022, experts have predicted an increase in fuel pump prices. Economic Expert, Kelvin Chisanga, says the decision to remove subsidies from the fuel is a bold move that will help Zambia service its debt.

And another Expert, Emmanuel Zulu, has predicted an upward adjustment of fuel prices but the effect will not be very wide depending on the international oil prices and demand. Mr. Zulu however says the performance of the Kwacha against the dollar is key in maintaining the prices of commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
