Petrolimex increases oil prices

The Viet Nam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) officially increased retail prices of petroleum products and diesel by VND400 (US$0.019) per litre and kerosene by VND300 late yesterday.

The move by Petrolimex followed a report from the Ministry of Finance showing that costs were higher than retail prices.

The price of RON 95 petrol has been raised to VND21,500 per litre; RON 92 to VND21,000 per litre; diesel to VND20,300 per litre, and kerosene to VND20,150 per litre.

This is the first time the price has gone up this year following five consecutive cuts.
