Gas price increased by over 50,000 VND/cylinder

Since this morning (August 1), most gas trading companies have simultaneously adjusted their retail gas prices up.

Accordingly, Saigon Petro, Vinagas, VT gas, Shell gas increased by 52,000 VND/12 kg cylinder; Elf gas increased by 54,000 VND/12.5 kg cylinder, Petrolimex increased by 56,500 VND/13 kg cylinder.

The reason for the increase in domestic gas prices is that world gas prices for August delivery have increased sharply compared to early July.

According to gas companies, the gas supply from Dung Quat factory is still not enough to meet customers' needs, so it must be imported from other sources.

Along with the increase in electricity and water prices in July and the rising price of gasoline, the increase in gas prices from August 1st has made many people worry that the consumer price basket in August will increase sharply, weighing heavily on the lives of the majority of low-income people./.
