1 August 2025, Government Press Release. The Minister of Finance has advised that the following changes in the retail petroleum product prices, inclusive of VAGST, will apply from 1st August 2025.
Retail product prices recorded increases as follows:
Petrol increased by 9.7 sene per litre from $2.92 to $3.02.
Diesel is up by 15 sene per litre from 2.96 to $3.11.
Kerosene is up by 13.1 sene per litre from 2.56 to $2.69.
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/lsrael conflict in early June, followed by the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities by the USA on 22 June.
Petroleum Product Prices in comparison to Samoa’s Pacific neighbours is provided below.
However, the rates cannot be compared strictly across the board when Samoa’s much lower minimum wage and household income and expenditure levels are taken into account.
