As of now, the market is provided with fuel in sufficient quantities, there is a decrease in excitement, Yulia Svyridenko claims.
In Ukraine, there is a decrease in excitement on the fuel market. This was reported by Korrespondent.net, by Prime Minister Yulia Svyridenko in Telegram on Monday, March 16. The PromPolitInform portal informs.
She said that she held a meeting with fuel market operators. The provision of gas stations with resources was coordinated with the participation of the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Energy, the Antimonopoly Committee and the State Service for Food and Consumer Protection.
“Our goal is to provide fuel to all consumers. The absolute priority remains uninterrupted supply for the Defense Forces, emergency services, as well as for agricultural producers in connection with the start of the sowing season,” Svyridenko wrote.
The Prime Minister said that representatives of the largest gas station chains informed about fuel stocks and foreign deliveries planned for April.
“As of now, the market is provided with sufficient resources, there is a decrease in excitement. The state-owned company Ukrnafta, which is part of the Naftogaz group, continues to maintain a benchmark for gasoline and diesel prices for the market, taking into account global changes due to the situation in the Middle East,” she noted.
The Head of Government instructed the leadership of the Antimonopoly Committee and the State Service for Food and Consumer Protection to continue monitoring the level of prices in the market and to respond as necessary in the event of violations, without hindering the work of businesses.
Further joint steps were also agreed with the heads of key operators for a stable situation in the market.
“In addition, the government is preparing new targeted programs to support people in the face of rising world oil prices. This is a one-time payment of UAH 1,500 for the most vulnerable categories of citizens and cashback on fuel within the framework of the National Cashback program,” Svyrydenko reminded.
Meanwhile, as of today, diesel fuel prices have increased mainly by UAH 1/l, autogas has become more expensive by the same level, and gasoline continues to hold its position. This is evidenced by data monitoring on the websites and applications of networks conducted by Energy Reform.
Thus, at the state-owned Ukrnafta, the price of diesel and gas remains the lowest among the studied networks, followed by UPG, which increased the price of DP and DP+ by UAH 2/l over the weekend.
The maximum price of DP is UAH 79.99/l, DP+ is UAH 82.99/l, as evidenced by the Socar, OKKO, WOG steles.
The price of gas ranges from UAH 41.99/l at Ukrnafta to UAH 45.98/l at WOG.
The price of A-95 is from 68.9 UAH/l at UPG to 70.99 at the other three private networks. At Ukrnafta – 68.99 UAH/l.
A-95+ is the most expensive at Socar – 74.99 UAH/l, the cheapest at UPG – 71.9 UAH/l.
We will remind you that in early March, fuel prices in Ukraine skyrocketed against the backdrop of the war with Iran in the Middle East.
According to experts, at that time, gas stations rewrote price tags artificially – the situation in Iran could not yet affect our market, and market players raised prices only for profit.
