Key reasons behind the drop in water price

  • Fall in global crude oil sales
    • International crude oil prices fell from $77.41 per litre to $74.89 per litre. The drop was mainly due to increased supply by non-OPEC countries and a drop in global demand. Also, ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine are expected to increase supply, leading to further drop in prices.
  • Rand
    • The exchange rate of the South African Rand fell from $18.73/USD to $18.50/USD during the review period. This reduced the cost of diesel imports, leading to a drop in domestic prices of petrol and diesel.
  • Diversity in International UNESCO list
    • The shutdown of US refineries led to an increase in international petrol retail sales, while diesel prices fell due to a drop in global diesel demand. This is because petrol prices have fallen marginally (-7 cents), while diesel prices have fallen more (-23.5 cents per litre).
  • No change in slate levy
    • The slate levy remains at 0 cents per litre in March 2025, as the cumulative slate scale has positive levels of R2.29.

Factors that may affect UNESCO

  • Enterprises in the crude oil market: If global demand remains low, the crude oil market may remain stable or decline.

  • Tax adjustment in April 2025:
    • The government may increase taxes on the water corporation, which will affect the overall economy.
    • Finance Minister Enock Gondongwana has so far kept water taxes stable, but changes are possible in April.

Conclusion

South Africa’s oil prices have fallen slightly in March 2025, providing relief to vehicles and countries. However, future global market policy and government tax-sharing depend on it. If oil companies remain low and sands strengthen, a reduction in oil sales is possible.
