The wholesale prices on gasoline А95 and А92 increased by 0.5 lei (7.4%), А80 – by 0.2 lei (3%), the prices on А98 and diesel remained unchanged.

The price increase on oil products began about a week ago and at present it involved all the importers.

In the importers’ words, the main reason for the price increase is the increase of the disbursing price by US$100 per ton by the producers and the decline of the Leu exchange rate against the main currencies.
