Hanoi (VNA) - The prices of oil and petrol were kept unchanged following the latest adjustment by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Finance on July 7.  

The two ministries review fuel prices every 15 days to adjust the prices in accordance with fluctuations on the world market.

The ceiling price for E5 Ron92 and Ron95-III are maintained at 19,611 VND per litre and 21,177 VND per litre, respectively. Meanwhile that for diesel oil 0.05S stands at 17,455 VND per litre, down 5 VND per litre.

The prices of kerosene and fuel oil (FO) 180CTS 3.5S are not more than 16,243 VND per litre and 14,756 VND per litre, up 189 VND and 319 VND per litre, respectively.  

The global price for RON92, which is the base for the production of E5 petrol, stood at 80.935 USD per barrel in the 15-day period prior to July 7. 

RON95 was sold at 82.761 USD per barrel, diesel 0.05S 86.297 USD per barrel, kerosene 87.370 USD per barrel, and FO 180CST 3.5S 459.223 USD per tonne.

The petrol price stabilisation fund has been used constantly and at a high level over the past time, particularly for petrol products, to mitigate the impacts of global rising commercial oil and petrol prices and contribute to curbing inflation.

This time, subsidies for E5 RON92 are 922 VND per litre (previously 870 VND per litre) and 161 VND per litre for RON95 (previously 198 VND per litre).-VNA
