Responding to the press, a representative of the Domestic Market Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) informed that the participation and withdrawal of businesses from the market happens regularly, in which gasoline is a conditional business item, so it is no exception.

According to a representative of the Domestic Market Department, the need to issue regulations to strictly manage the petroleum trading activities of distributors, such as only allowing distributors to purchase goods from key traders and not to trade with each other, is to overcome the shortcomings in the past.

With the number of petroleum businesses leaving the market recently, the supply of petroleum still basically meets demand.

To ensure the supply of gasoline, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has assigned the minimum total source (including imported and purchased domestic gasoline) to key gasoline trading enterprises.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade is also drafting a decree amending decrees on petroleum business management, which re-establishes the rights and obligations of traders.
