The price of diesel fuel was also reduced by 400 VND to 21,200 VND per litre. This move marked the second reduction in fuel prices this month, following a 500 VND reduction in petrol prices on May 10.

The average world price of RON 92 petrol in the first half this month dropped by 6.94 percent from 131 to 122 per USD barrel in late April. The Ministry of Finance the same day also reduced the retail price of fuel oil by 300 VND to 18,900 VND per litre and the price of kerosene to 21,100 VND per litre.
