In addition, the MoIT and the Ministry of Finance said in a joint statement that they had decided to use the petrol price stabilisation fund at a rate of 300 VND per litre. Taxes and fees for the products had remained unchanged.
The ministry said the sharp decline was attributable to the plunging prices on the world market.

Statistics from the MoIT show that petrol prices have fallen nine times and increased six times so far this year.
