Earlier, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Finance adjusted the petroleum price. Accordingly, after making provisionsand spending to use the Petroleum Price Stabilization Fund, RON92 petrol price decreased by VND577/liter; Diesel 0.05S decreased VND 412/liter; Kerosene reduced by VND473/ liter; Mazut 3.5S oil decreased by VND265/kg.
The adjustment and the continuous decrease in petroleum price (on February 11, WTI oil price plummeted by 1 percent to US$49.8 / barrel; Brent oil price fell 0.9 percent to US$ 54/barrel) caused the increase in the fund’s surplus.
