After the adjustment, the prices of E5 bio-fuel are not higher than VND19,940 per litre, and those of RON95-III petrol, diesel 0.05S and kerosene should not be higher than VND21,511 per litre, VND17,694 per litre and VND16,440 per litre, respectively.
The ministries of Industry and Trade and Finance review fuel prices every 15 days to adjust the prices in accordance with fluctuations on the world market.
According to the ministries, the world petrol prices have recently surged due to the unstable political situation in the Middle East and a decline in oil supply from Venezuela.
