For maritime and outer islands, motor spirit will reach $3.29 per litre, premix $3.18, kerosene $2.96, and diesel $3.24.

On Rotuma, the highest fuel prices are recorded, with motor spirit at $3.49, premix $3.37, kerosene $3.14, and diesel $3.43 per litre.

FCCC says the increases are largely driven by global refined fuel price spikes, with diesel rising by over 56 percent and kerosene nearly 60 percent on the international market.

It also highlights geopolitical tensions in the Middle East affecting global oil supply as a key factor behind the surge.

Meanwhile, LPG cylinder prices have slightly decreased across all divisions, while bulk and autogas prices remain largely unchanged.

FCCC adds that maintaining a stable fuel supply remains critical, despite rising global costs.
