The average price of diesel around the world is N1,973.51 in Naira per litre and 1.117 USD per litre worldwide.
However, there is a substantial difference in these prices among countries.
Generally, richer countries have higher prices while poorer countries and the countries that produce and export oil have significantly lower prices.
The differences in prices across countries are due to the various taxes and subsidies for diesel as all countries have access to the same petroleum prices of international markets but then decide to impose different taxes.
Cheaper petrol means lower operational costs in businesses like shipping, manufacturing, and agriculture, which boosts profitability and encourages expansion.
Iran tops the list with the cheapest petrol prices in November at $0.029 AND N48.146.
