Latest News About Fuel Prices In Uganda

Here’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage.

• Uganda’s pump prices have been edging higher in late March 2026, with petrol around 5,300–5,400 UGX per liter and diesel near 5,000–5,200 UGX per liter in several stations, driven by global oil costs and local currency dynamics. This aligns with reports noting government cautions but continuing price increases at the moment.[3]
• A separate roundup around early April 2026 indicated a modest overall rise (roughly 5%) as Middle East tensions influenced global markets, though Uganda’s reserves and procurement reforms helped limit the impact on consumers.[4]

Notes and context:

• Local price levels can vary by region and by outlet, with border districts sometimes showing higher readings during disruptions.[3]
• Long-term trends depend on global oil prices, the shilling’s strength, and Uganda’s bulk procurement arrangements via UNOC.[4]

If you’d like, I can pull a few current local price snapshots for Kampala or a specific district, or summarize how these price changes compare with the same period last year. I can also monitor for updates and provide a concise daily/weekly briefing with cited sources.
