St Lucia's Pump Price Climbs to EC$16.75 a Gallon Under a New Fuel Framework

Saint Lucia’s gasoline price has risen to EC$16.75 per imperial gallon under a revised pricing framework that took effect June 1, with the government citing global cost pressures. Fuel prices ripple quickly into transport and food costs, making this a direct cost-of-living signal for residents and the relatives who support them from abroad.
