St Lucia increases prices for petroleum products amid higher international oil costs

CASTRIES, St Lucia, CMC – The St Lucia government says that while it will continue to provide subsidies on petroleum products to cushion the impact of higher international prices on consumers, it has no choice but to adjust the retail price of these products for citizens.

In a statement, the Office of the Prime Minister said that the price changes take effect from September 14, 2026, and will apply for the three-week period ending October 4, 2026.

“The public is hereby notified that, in keeping with changes in international oil prices and the Government’s application of the modified market pass-through petroleum pricing mechanism, the retail prices of gasoline, diesel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) have been adjusted,” it said, noting that the retail price of kerosene remains unchanged.
