Fuel prices rise again after growing significantly two days ago. Gasoline “95” as from March 10 will be sold for 26.68 lei/liter, up 1 leu, while diesel fuel for 25 lei/liter, up almost 2 lei, IPN reports.

The National Agency for Energy Regulation said the regional economic developments caused by the situation in Ukraine have a significant impact on the prices of petroleum and its derivatives. During the first eight days of this month alone, the Platts quotations grew by 278 US$ per tonne of gasoline, which is the fastest rise on the oil products market. Such an evolution leads to an unprecedented rise in fuel prices, especially in states like the Republic of Moldova, which fully satisfies its fuel needs with imports.

For comparison, a liter of gasoline “95” at the start of September cost 20.23 lei, while a liter of diesel fuel –16.42 lei.

The price of liquefied petroleum gas rose to 14.65 lei/liter.
