The ministries decided not to use the petrol and oil price stabilisation fund.
The price adjustment is intended to ensure that the fluctuation of petrol and gas prices in the country is in line with changes in prices in the world while encouraging the use of biofuel as well as minimizing negative impacts on socio-economic development, production and business activities, among others.
