Fuel: Government Announces Another Cut in Pump Prices

The Haitian government, through the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MCI), has announced a reduction in fuel prices on the domestic market. The decision, made on the recommendation of the Advisory Council on July 3, 2026, sets new prices nationwide.

A gallon of gasoline now sells for 650 gourdes, down 50 gourdes from 700. Diesel drops from 790 to 700 gourdes, a cut of 90 gourdes, while kerosene is now set at 690 gourdes, down 95 gourdes from 785. According to the joint MEF-MCI notice, the new prices take effect immediately and apply to all consumers, importers and distributors of petroleum products nationwide.

The price cut comes as fuel costs directly affect transportation, economic activity and the cost of living in Haiti. The authorities did not, however, specify what prompted the adjustment.
