Kerosene (lighting paraffin) — regulated retail price

What is this?

The maximum retail price of kerosene (lighting paraffin) set by the energy regulator.

How to read it

  • Prices stay flat between adjustments, so a flat line means no decision, not stable world prices.
  • Unit: MZN/L.

What does the data say?

Kerosene (lighting paraffin) — regulated retail price is 97.56 MZN/L (Oct 2026), 526.2% higher than in Jan 2010. Over the last year: +45.9%.

Over all 198 observations since Jan 2010, the highest was 97.56 (May 2026) and the lowest 15.58 (Jan 2010).

Why does it matter?

  • Households: Cooking and lighting costs for many households.
  • Businesses: Transport, logistics and generator costs.
  • Government: Adjustments balance importer costs, subsidies and social pressure.
  • Investors: Inflation risk.
  • Mobile money: Higher transport costs can squeeze household budgets and raise the nominal value of everyday payments; effects on transactions are not measured here.

What should I watch?
