Ghana cut diesel and gasoline exports to Burkina Faso and Mali starting in August to safeguard domestic supplies. State distributor BOST Energies fulfilled only half of Burkina Faso's 80,000 metric ton request in July and August. The export curbs protect local inventories as global energy costs surge amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
