HA NOI (Biz Hub) – Gas price in HCM City and the southern provinces has been increased by VND15,000 per 12kg cooking gas canister since October 1.
The retail price of a 12kg cooking gas canister now ranges from VND274,000 ($12.2) to VND280,000.
Saigon Petro's Head of Sales, Tran Van Phuc, acknowledged that the recently announced increase in October world gas price of $47.5 per tonne, making it a total of $355 per tonne, was the reason behind Viet Nam's gas price hike. The hike required domestic gas companies to adjust accordingly. – VNS
