Fuel Prices Go up as inflation reaches single digit in three years

1. I’m sure if it was Lungu in power the war in Ukraine was just going to be a lame excuse by a failed government.

   • If your absentee inept President Lazy Lungu was in govt the situation would have been worse get that in your head. By the way annual inflation rate has dropped to 9.7 percent from 10.2 percent recorded in May 2022…I know you are only excited with the opposite of good news when it comes to this govt

   • Tarino Orange…. your president told us lies. Just look at the retirees saga… money is released we’re told but the people haven’t seen this money yet. Lungu is not there anymore and you promised to do better. Better means to increase prices.

   • Deja Vu – You mentioned the inept Lazy Lungu and I was just jogging your memory …remember how high price at the pump was in Zambia during the pandemic yet crude oil was at an all time low? Oil producing countries were literally giving it away

   • Yet you are the same chaps that sing everyday that Lazy Lungu has worked hard building infrastructure…really laughable…you think he build all that with funds generated from the economy? They contracted loans left right and centre though Chinese Exim bank at grossly inflated figures so they could cream off the excess.

   • Tarino Orange never in my entire life have I praised Lungu and never will. In fact whatever Lungu built came from my money so why should I praise him. Bone of contention is you guys told so much lies of what you were going to do for the nation in hours.

   • Which guys am I? My party is Zambia..for someone who claims not to vote you sure know about the promises…if you believed HH7 was going to sort out the economy in matter of hours then you’re very naive and gullible.

   • Tarino Orange trying to jump ship? Stick with it even in the grave.

3. I do not understand the relationship between fuel going up and attaining single digit inflation. Someone help me understand it please!

   • Fuel goes up. Government happy, keeps profit and doesn’t spend it, raises liquidity ratio. Inflation go down

4. Bally I think is still pissed off for the 5 times rejection he suffered before August 2021 General elections. He wants a revenge on Zambian electorates. I doubt if he’s got any empathy for us.
   Many of you took the slogan Bally will fix it literally, No! It was a figure of speech to come and fix us. NIPANO TULI!

   • What a fantastic analysis. Which president wants to fix his own citizens?

5. The promise of cheaper fuel is seemly a long way from all the indications obtaining, they’ve now realized that running business and running a country are two very different things and the next president and party to ascend to power should be learning very valuable lessons from KK to HH and do a better job – those with eyes and ears should pay close attention and never repeat the same mistakes we have had since 1964. I rest my case.

   12

   • Very true. We should have learned from that racist fool Trump. Business and economics are different. You can be very successful in one and a big failure in the other

6. UK ZMW 40 per LTr
   South Africa 30
   WHATS THE NOISE ABOUT ??

   • Remember we were told by Upnd that at 17kwacha per liter ZAMBIA had the most expensive fuel in the region.

   • Chishamba Kambwili economics bwana? Mealie meal in UK costs 8 pounds for 2kilos, a pound is 20 kwacha and therefore, mealie meal is cheaper in Zambia.
     LoL.

8. If you think zambia produces oil…………

   Then yes , zambia should not be affected by world events in oil producing countries………

   If you know zambia does not produce oil and expect prices to be untouched by world events , we suggest…………

   You urinate in your gas tanks…….

   • So that time you said it should cost four Kwacha, ZAMBIA was product oil?

     12

   • No……….there was no covid and no war in ukrain

     11

   • In case u need a reminder….
     Even in the KK, Fjt, mwanawasa, Rb, ECL, and now HH times, zambia has never produced oil.
     Its a common denominator or a costant so Whats changed?

   • It works! I TRIED IT. Straight from drinking kachasu

9. This inflation figures are fake!!! The whole world in experiencing high inflation. Uk , South Africa,Kenya, India, German, USA and many other countries are experiencing high inflation increasing fuel and food prices. It is strange that only Zambia is having inflation going down into single digit. In the meantime despite inflation coming down, food prices, and fuel prices are not coming down but keep going up. Is this real?????

   15

10. Why has Bally the lecturer on how to reduce fuel price left this role Reynolds. Reynolds is now fixing us on this price of fuel…..

    12

11. Can some one also increase our salaries????

    8

    • Which someone?

12. Ati wait and see what we do with the economy. He was even licking his ugly lips whilst saying that. Only fooIish people believed that a man who had never held public office would make their lives better. Today you are worse off and many are now realising how good and tough ECL was.

14. Are the inflation figures real?

    7

15. Yes inflation can hit a single digit because this kamflumende is not spending money in the economy. This is one factor that leads to inflation going down, BUT HOW MUCH HAS THIS COUNTRY LOST IN TERMS ON INVESTMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SPENDING AND JUST COLORING FIGURES? IT WILL TAKE US ANOTHER 2 YEARS TO RECOVER FROM THIS ECONOMIC STAGNATION.

    9

16. LT WHY MODERATING ALL MY CONTRIBUTION FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS?

    2

17. To justify this inflation rate, how much is cooking oil, mealie meal, fuel, sugar today as compared to the same day last year? These politicians think we are stup1d and there are people supporting this rubbish. Mr Hichilema have you lost that formula you presented on reducing the price of fuel?

    • kci – making comparisons when you lack faculties to undertake Critcial analysis.

18. Russian invasion hadn’t started last year
    Thats the reason for the price hikes now
    Most on here have zero or very little knowledge on the influences world markets have on Zambia

19. When you undertake calculations over the prices increases of fuel at the pump in UK you will find that the big chunk of the price goes to the tresuary …it seems govts around the world are using the war to justify increases when it has nothing to do with it. Most govt are using it as an opportunity to raise funds after the were depleted during lockdown and the pandemic.

24. I’m told that our beloved HH has, 4 the last 9 months, been frantically looking for the displaced excel sheets which had formulae he had been using to calculate cheaper fuel prices during his opposition days. So country men & women let’s just be patient, when he finds them he’ll implement the formula and fuel prices ‘ll come down. In the mean time prices ‘ll unfortunately continue to go up.

26. The campaign by Upnd even permeated our overseas relatives who saw the head of the Upnd as genius who turn water into fuel…..or is it wine?

27. It looks like the lecturer has lost his pamphlets on how to reduce the cost of fuel.

    2

28. Dollar has gone down but fuel has gone up. The mathematics are not adding up.

    2

29. HH should not be blamed for higher fuel prices which result from rising int’l crude oil prices.Fuullz like Kaizar Zero will lie to you that ichi Lungu had a better economy ,hahaha.

30. The idea of reviewing fuel prices on monthly basis is highly inappropriate for a country with a 99% economically illiterate populace and mainly informal traders

31. Bufontini maningi ! Guys zambia doesnt produce petrol and oil we import these commodities abroad ,where the price per barrel has also been hiked , so guys dont expect fuel price to drop ,note that subsidies on fuel and electricity have been removed to channel the funds to free education and others like paying retirees , paying farmers etc mind you that ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY please give our leaders ample time to repair the economy that looted by heartless brutal pf regime . It hurts me to remember pf brutal regime .WAKE UP GUYS

    • The payments to retirees has changed my friend. Money was pulished that it was released but it was not every pensioner who was paid. I have friends and relatives who haven’t received their money up to now.

32. Fellow citizens, we must understand that the the war in the Ukraine has affected the entire world, with weak economies like ours getting worse off. Here in South South Africa, the situation is equally bad, because of Ukraine. The cost of fuel keeps going up because of it. Most people do appreciate that. I therefore find it really irksome when some Zambians try to make political capital out of the inevitable fuel price increases in the country. The increases are simply inevitable.

33. Yayayaya! I see by the down votes Noone is agreeing with Jay Jay or Tarino as he calls himself nowadays and I therefore conclude Zambia is safe.

34. All this price hikes and inflation is as a result of the western govts hypocrisy and stupidity…placing sanctions on a major energy economy like russia was wrong.

    1

35. just to make it clear: When Gas prices rises while inflation drops, thats all just smoke and mirror as every single good which end up in stores has to get there somehow in first place. That means if gas prices are higher, the cost for all goods becomes higher too…people have to pay more for everything…the drop in inflation will be vaporised just like that
