The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) and the Ministry of Finance (MoF) announced that the prices of E5 are not higher than 19,911 VND per litre, and those of diesel 0.05S should not be higher than 18,069 VND per litre.

Meanwhile, the cost of ethanol E100 which is used to produce E5 petrol stood at 14,874 VND per litre before tax.
The changes took effect from 3pm on September 6.
The MoIT and MoF co-review fuel prices every 15 days to adjust prices in accordance with fluctuations on the world market.
According to the MoIT, global prices of petrol and oil have increased sharply of late. The price for RON92, which is the base for the production of E5 petrol, stood at 85.005 USD per barrel in the 15-day period prior to September 6, up by 3.220 USD.

This time, subsidies for E5 RON92 are 1,563 VND per litre (previously 1,272 VND per litre), 960 VND per litre for RON95 (previously 697 VND per litre), as well as 400 VND per litre for diesel and 300 VND per litre for kerosene, which received no subsidy in the previous adjustment. –VNA
