Gambian fuel companies vow to suspend operations due to dollar shortage

BANJUL (Reuters) – Gambian oil marketing companies on Wednesday said they would be forced to halt operations by Oct. 17 due to a shortage of dollars on the market to buy fuel, leaving them unable to resupply fuel stations.

They announced the move in a joint statement that blamed the government pricing structure and called on the authorities to act.
