Regarding the petroleum market, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is drafting a decree on petroleum trading, but there are still many proposals that have not received consensus.

Mr. Nguyen Tien Thoa - Chairman of the Vietnam Valuation Association said that he received many disagreements, even commenting that some important contents of the draft decree did not meet the requirements of production and business practices. Not only that, it also conflicted with relevant legal provisions.

For example, not allowing distributors (who have met the prescribed business conditions) to freely buy and sell each other's gasoline to supply the market. Or the need for transparent regulations on the business environment to ensure equal competition between distributors who are not part of the system of the main trader and distributors established by the main trader.

At the regular press conference of the third quarter of the Ministry of Industry and Trade held on the afternoon of October 23, Mr. Phan Van Chinh, Director of the Domestic Market Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) said that the draft Decree on petroleum trading stipulates that traders are not allowed to buy and sell with each other to ensure effective management and cut down on intermediaries and reduce costs.

The leader of the Domestic Market Department affirmed that these regulations were carefully considered to promote competition and ensure the interests of businesses. The Ministry of Industry and Trade does not prohibit gasoline distributors from buying and selling from many sources, but businesses need to meet the conditions for gasoline trading.

In addition, this decree also stipulates that the conditions for becoming a wholesale trader, a distributor and a retail enterprise are completely different. According to Mr. Chinh, in any segment, enterprises must meet the conditions of that segment, without discrimination.

Forecast gasoline price tomorrow will be below 20,000 VND/liter?
