It is an underwhelming week for Jamaican consumers as state-owned refinery, Petrojam, released its latest rework of baseline prices today (June 22).

In its closely watched petroleum product price index, the refinery advised that 87-octane gasolene would see its cost slashed by a meagre J$0.25, to open at an introductory price of J$170.20.

The largely inconsequential pricing update brought a mix of miniscule cost changes, which was arguably most pronounced for heavy fuel oil (HFO).

It is expected that retailers will add their mark-ups to the announced prices.

See breakdown of prices below:

ProductPrice per unit (effective June 22, 2023)Price change (from last week)
Gasolene 87$170.20-$0.25 ($170.45)

Transport minister defends feasibility of the Rural Bus System

Reading Time: 4 minutesTransport Minister Daryl Vaz has strongly defended the government’s Rural School Bus System amid what he described as disingenuous and politically motivated attacks by the Opposition People’s National Party (PNP).

Vaz stated that although the opposition has sought to turn the bus system into a political football, he noted that the bus system is not a matter to be politicised because it benefits all rural parents and students regardless of colour, creed or political affiliation.
