The operator said fuel prices fluctuated last week due to a decrease in US petroleum product reserves, renewed tensions in the Middle East, and uncertainty in US tax policies on goods from other countries...

These factors cause gasoline prices to increase or decrease depending on the product. On average, finished gasoline increased by about 2.7-2.8% over the past 7 days; oil (excluding diesel) decreased by 0.2-0.5%. Accordingly, each barrel of RON 95 gasoline increased to 80.8 USD and diesel to 84.1 USD, fuel oil decreased to 462.6 USD per ton.

According to Circular 18, from May 2, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will announce the base price and selling price based on input data and written comments from the Ministry of Finance . Fuel products will have their prices announced by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, including bio-fuel, RON 95-III mineral gasoline and oil products (diesel, kerosene, fuel oil). Thus, the mechanism for regulating gasoline prices will change, and there will no longer be the current Finance - Industry and Trade interdisciplinary group.

Along with that, the management agency added regulations on reporting on the use of petroleum warehouses applicable to key traders and distributors with warehouses for rent and lease. These traders must submit quarterly reports on the total warehouse capacity, the lessee, the leased capacity, and the petroleum output through the warehouse during the period.
