During the questioning session on the morning of November 5 at the fourth session of the 15th National Assembly, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien said that the supply is increasingly scarce when Europe increases the purchase of petroleum products. The exchange rate of the strong currency to import gasoline has increased highly, making it difficult for importers.
The Government has recently issued Decree No.51/2022/ND-CP amending the most-favored-nation (MFN) tariffs for gasoline products in group 27.10 in the MFN tariff according to the list of taxable products.
