Nhan Dan Online – The retail prices of diesel and kerosene have decreased by VND 300 a litre and VND 500 a litre while the wholesale prices of fuel-oils 3S and 3,5S have been reduced by VND 300 a litre.

The Vietnam National Petroleum Corporation (Petrolimex) made this announcement yesterday.

Accordingly, the new price of diesel 0,05S is put at VND 14,600 a litre; diesel 0,25S, VND 14,550 a litre; kerosene, VND 15,000 a litre; fuel-oil 3S, VND 13,300 a kilogram and fuel-oil 3,5S, VND 13,000 a kilogram.

According to the Petrolimex, until the adjustment of oil price, three items of goods: diesel, kerosene and fuel-oil had brought profit of only VND 100 a litre or a kilogram, not as much as the profit limit as regulated, and the petrol A 92 had still been incurred with a loss of VND 81 a litre, and as a result the Petrolimex could not reduce the price of this item of goods.
