MEDIA RELEASE
ICCC EXPLAINS REGULATORY OVERSIGHT ON FUEL PRICING

The Independent Consumer and Competition Commission (ICCC) commends the Government’s bold policy decision to cushion fuel supply shock on domestic fuel prices through a subsidy mechanism.

The ICCC is part of the High-Level State Taskforce team on fuel crisis, that collaborates with other key agencies and the industry to ensure the subsidy mechanism is aligned with policy and law, is practical and achievable.

Whilst the ICCC is collaborating with the High-Level State Taskforce team, it has independent regulatory powers under the ICCC Act and the Prices Regulation Act, which governs how fuel prices are regulated.

Fuel prices are regulated by law, reflecting market-based costs and minimum returns possible, adjusted for fiscal policy interventions, particular taxes and subsidies. This is to ensure that the suppliers of fuel are adequately compensated while ensuring that consumers are not overpaying above the regulated prices.

With the current challenges surrounding the Government’s fuel subsidy and where ICCC is positioned, ICCC Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Roy Daggy said the subsidy itself remains a Government fiscal intervention.

The ICCC, within the requirements of the laws it administers, does not make fiscal policy, legislate tax exemptions or source subsidy funding.

Mr. Daggy said the K1 billion fuel subsidy approved through a National Executive Council (NEC) Decision (71/2026) was to subsidize fuel importers and distributors to partially offset fuel import costs.

In implementing the Government’s policy directive, the ICCC applies the subsidy into its monthly price determinations to reduce the retail prices paid by consumers at the service stations.
