WEEKLY LPG INSIDER REPORT


In the immediately preceding week, prices on the international and domestic markets for LPG saw an increase.

  • International(Mont Belvieu) prices of LPG slighltly rose in the middle of the preceding week but price slightly fall compared to the previous day

  • Prices of LPG at the depot level showed a slight decrease compared to the previous week: In contrast with the previous week under review, the price gap between Mont Belvieu and depot prices is marginally narrower.

  • Compared with the previous week the gap between depot prices per kg of LPG and retail prices in Nigeria has not changed much. The retail prices remain stable during the week, unlike the depot prices.

  • Regional discrepancies continue to exist in the retail prices of LPG within the region.

     

    A frequent feature of the Nigerian LPG market has been the regional variance in the price of LPG across the country. Since the geographic zone of the South-East hosts the vast majority of depots in the country, prices in the region have been higher compared to the South-West.

     

    • The official exchange rate of the naira to the US. $ has remained at the pegged price of N380 to US.$1 throughout the week (Figure D).

    • Nigeria's foreign reserve continues to fall as a result of capital outflow due to the effect of the second phase of Covid-19 and unstable nature of oil price in the international market

    • The current CBN Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for the gas sector records a decrease in November for new orders in the supply segment of power, gas, steam & air conditioning, while business activities and jobs & inventory were contracted in the same month. In the corresponding value chains, the decreasing trend in market activities and jobs & inventory signals a contraction in demand.

    • There is also high inflation. The persistent increase in inflation over the past 12 months (14.89% in November, 14.23 in October, 13.7 %in September, 13.2 %in August, 12.8 %in July, 12.6 % in June from 12.4 %in May 2020) is increasingly reflected in the country's higher LPG prices. More specifically, the composite food index rose from 16.16% in September and 16.0% in August to 17.38 % in October, 15.48 % in July 2020 compared to 15.18 %in June 2020.

    • Prices of crude oil in the international market in the week under review showed a rising trend. However, the price later fall at the end of the week (Figure E).

       

       

       

      We expect LPG prices to continue to rise in the coming days as the yuletide season approach and inflation continue to rise.

How LPG is contributing to the growth of SMEs in Africas: Your One Stop LPG Provider

A crucial component of human life is energy. Reliable access to modern, reasonably priced energy is essential for a country's social and economic development. Traditional dirty-burning fuels used for cooking, such as coal, wood, and kerosene, produce large amounts of pollutants and carbon monoxide, which are the main contributors to indoor air pollution and its negative health impacts. Continual use of unclean fuels may result in early deaths, an increase in childhood and adult illnesses, associated environmental problems, and stress on the healthcare system, according to experts. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was found in the search for cooking energy that would protect our environment from pollution. LPG is a type of energy that is used in cooking. It is produced by refining raw natural gas or crude oil that comes only from fossil fuel sources. It is kept and moved in LPG cylinders at a reasonable amount of pressure as a liquid. Propane and butane make up the majority of the gases created during the LPG production process. The first online energy company in Nigeria, Kiakiagas, provides excellent, prompt, and safe delivery of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and related products to Nigerian households and businesses. The company has developed into an energy solutions provider, paving the way for a future in which gas will drive the switchover of the African energy sector from fossil fuels to renewable sources, bringing electricity to consumers in the last mile from urban to off-grid areas.
