Petroleum prices to go up for some 6-7 soms more in Kyrgyzstan

AKIPRESS.COM - "According to our information, prices of fuel and lubricants are expected to increase by 6-7 soms more," said Deputy Minister of Energy and Industry Aitmamat Kadyrbayev at a meeting of the parliamentary committee on fuel and energy and subsoil use. MP Kojobek Ryspayev reminded that prices went down in Kyrgyzstan when fuel and lubricants were imported last year from Kazakhstan. He asked if such agreements could be signed now.
Kazakhstan cancelled the duty on August 3, 2020 and reintroduced it on December 25, 2020, so it is unprofitable to import petroleum, oil and lubricants from Kazakhstan today, Kadyrbayev said.
Prices of petroleum, oil and lubricants rise by 0.5 soms daily, Ryspayev added.
