The 8th of each month is the time the country’s consumer watchdog, the Independent Consumer and Competitions Commission (ICCC) announce the new prices for fuel, either an increase or a decrease, but for this month, thankfully the price will remain steady.

This is because for the month of June, the fuel prices will continue as that of last month and the previous month thanks to the National Government’s Fuel Relief Assistance.

The ICCC informs all consumers, suppliers and stakeholders in the petroleum industry that the Government’s Fuel Assistance will continue into its third month (June) as per the National Executive Council (NEC) Decision No. 71/2026.

“The Indicative Retail Fuel Prices (IRP) for this month will see the domestic pump prices maintained at March 2026 levels despite the prevailing higher global oil prices,” the ICCC stated.

As of Monday 8th June, prices for fuel in Port Moresby city will remain at K4.39 per liter for petrol, K4.44 per liter for diesel and K4.09 per liter for kerosene. 

Similarly, prices in the other centers will also be maintained at March levels.

The ICCC is urging all fuel importers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers to comply with the price that is set. The ICCC together with PNG Customs, Internal Revenue Commission (IRC), Bank of Papua New Guinea and Treasury will conduct ongoing compliance and monitoring to ensure that the Fuel Relief Assistance trickles down to the final consumers.

The Fuel Relief Assistance is a decisive measure to protect PNG’s economy and people from external shocks. This ensures price stability and supply security during this time of global fuel crisis due to the ongoing the US/Israel- Iran conflict in the Middle East.
