Cooking gas price keeps climbing

Cooking gas prices rose by VND16,000 (0.77 cent) to an average price of VND434,000 ($21) per 12kg canister as of today, gas importer Sai Gon Petrol deputy sales manager Do Trung Thanh told news website dantri.vn.

The new price is nearly 4 per cent higher than last month's.

He said gas importers adjusted the gas price due to the high world gas price which this month hit US$995 per tonne, a $45 increase against the previous month.

He added that, during the last three months the gas price has increased by VND119,000 ($5.6) per 12kg canister.

"Up to now, we see as much as 38 per cent growth in gas price, compared to the third quarter", added Thanh.

However, in Ha Noi, the price of gas in some districts still remains at VND418,000 ($20).

Nguyen Huy Hung, a gas retailer in Long Bien district, said he would increase the gas price as soon as his current gas stocks sold out.
