The operator said that fuel prices last week were affected by factors such as escalating conflicts in the Middle East, China's economic stimulus measures, and the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. These factors led to fluctuations in gasoline prices, increasing or decreasing depending on the item.

On average, in 7 days, finished gasoline increased by about 5%, oil increased by 2.3-4.6%. Accordingly, each barrel of RON 95 gasoline increased to 85.6 USD, diesel oil was at 84.4 USD, and fuel oil was 446.3 USD per ton.
