Since the beginning of the year, gasoline prices have increased 22 times and decreased 24 times. Oil prices have increased 20 times and decreased 26 times. The joint ministries have not yet allocated or established a gasoline price stabilization fund, similar to previous management periods. By the end of the second quarter, this fund had more than 6,000 billion VND, a decrease of about 600 billion compared to the end of 2023, according to the Ministry of Finance .
Recently, the Ministry of Finance proposed to continue to reduce environmental protection tax on gasoline by half, aviation fuel by 70% and kerosene by 40% until the end of next year. According to the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), extending this policy until 2025 is necessary and urgent. This will help control inflation, stabilize the macro economy , and support business recovery and development.
The operator said fuel prices fluctuated last week due to China's economic stimulus plan not meeting investors' expectations, and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine. These factors caused gasoline prices to increase or decrease depending on the product. On average, finished gasoline decreased by 0.6-0.9% over the past 7 days, while oil decreased by 0.5%. Accordingly, each barrel of RON 95 gasoline fell to 83.6 USD, diesel to 88.2 USD, and fuel to 450 USD per ton.
