Since March 10, authorities have continuously used the fuel price stabilization fund, with spending ranging from 3,000–5,000 VND per liter for petroleum products. In the latest adjustment, however, the two ministries have suspended the use of the fund.
According to the MoIT, Vietnam’s fuel prices remain at an average level in the region and are lower than those in neighboring countries sharing land borders.
The ministry said it will coordinate with relevant agencies to inspect and supervise fuel traders to ensure adequate supply for the domestic market, while strictly handling any violations.
It added that the two ministries will continue closely monitoring global and domestic market developments to adjust fuel prices in line with regulations and propose timely measures to the Government and the Prime Minister to stabilize the market.
