St Lucia Lifts Gasoline Price to EC$16.75 a Gallon From June 1

St Lucia’s revised fuel-pricing framework took effect June 1, setting the retail price of gasoline at EC$16.75 per imperial gallon, with the government stressing continued efforts to cushion households. The increase feeds directly into transport and food costs across the island.

For diaspora households sending money home, the practical effect is that the same remittance now stretches less far against day-to-day costs. Rising fuel prices are a recurring reason support transfers get topped up mid-month.
