Similarly, the price of finished oil products in the Singapore market in this cycle also decreased sharply compared to the previous cycle. The average price of oil in the Singapore market updated to September 14 is as follows: diesel oil is priced at 123.77 USD/barrel, kerosene is priced at 120.03 USD/barrel, and fuel oil is priced at 420.27 USD/ton.

In the world market, oil prices also plummeted, losing the $90/barrel mark.

Therefore, in the operating period tomorrow (September 21), if the management agency does not spend from the Petroleum Price Stabilization Fund, the price of gasoline may decrease by 500-700 VND/liter, and the price of oil will decrease by about 2,000 VND/liter. In case the management agency spends from the Petroleum Price Stabilization Fund, the price of petroleum products may decrease less.

Since the beginning of the year, domestic gasoline prices have undergone 24 adjustments, including 13 increases, 10 decreases, and 1 unchanged. In the next adjustment period (September 21), if the reduction continues, domestic retail gasoline prices will return to the same level as in October last year.

In the most recent adjustment period (September 12), the Ministry of Industry and Trade - Ministry of Finance decided to reduce most domestic gasoline prices. Accordingly, the price of RON 95 gasoline decreased by VND 1,020/liter, the selling price was VND 23,210/liter; E5 RON 92 gasoline decreased by VND 1,120/liter, the selling price was VND 22,230/liter, the lowest since the beginning of the year.

Meanwhile, diesel price decreased by 1,000 VND/liter, selling price is 24,180 VND/liter. With this decrease, diesel price is still higher than gasoline price.

Also in this operating period, the Ministry of Industry and Trade - Ministry of Finance implemented the allocation of the Price Stabilization Fund for E5 gasoline at 451 VND/liter; RON95 gasoline at 450 VND/liter, diesel at 90 VND/liter, kerosene at 200 VND/liter; at the same time, stopped spending the Price Stabilization Fund for petroleum products.

The Ministry of Finance said that in the first half of this year, domestic petroleum enterprises have allocated a total of VND1,610 billion to the Price Stabilization Fund. The Fund also had to spend nearly VND2,200 billion to stabilize domestic petroleum prices.

Regarding the management of gasoline prices, Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai recently directed the Ministry of Finance to continue studying options to reduce value-added tax and special consumption tax on gasoline in case world prices increase.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is closely coordinating with the Ministry of Finance to flexibly manage gasoline prices, ensuring that domestic gasoline prices reflect and closely follow world gasoline price developments./.
