The decrease in fuel prices on the international market impacts the retail prices at filling stations in Moldova. The National Agency for Energy Regulation (NAER) said the prices of gasoline and diesel fuel declined by 4 lei over a month, owing to the reduction in the Platts quotations, IPN reports.

The Agency, which sets the price ceilings for the main oil products of standard type, noted that the prices of these products during the past 30 days have declined constantly. “After reaching historic highs, of 33.90 lei/liter of gasoline COR 95 and of 32.46 lei/liter of standard diesel fuel, the prices of these products have decreased continuously since the second half of June,” said the Agency.

For Wednesday, July 20, the price ceiling for gasoline COR 95 is 29.90 lei/liter (- 0.41 lei on today), while for standard diesel fuel is 28.45 lei/liter (- 0.23 lei).

The Republic of Moldova fully imports the necessary oil products.
