At this meeting, key issues concerning the stocks of fuel and lubricants, the pricing situation in the market, and ensuring the stability of fuel supplies to Kyrgyzstan were discussed.
According to the agency, despite the ongoing geopolitical tensions, the situation in the fuel market remains under control. This does not create negative consequences for the domestic market in the near future. Duty-free supplies are being carried out under an intergovernmental agreement between the ministries of energy of Kyrgyzstan and Russia, which allows for stable supply volumes and protects the domestic market from external risks.
Oil traders reported that the fuel market is currently stable, supplies are occurring according to the established schedule, and there are enough fuel stocks for two months.
In January of this year, a decrease in gasoline and diesel prices to 3 soms per liter was recorded in the republic.
According to information from oil traders, the current price adjustment is limited. It is expected that as new batches of fuel arrive, retail prices may change. The further dynamics of fuel prices will depend on the wholesale prices set by oil refineries in Russia.
As a result of the meeting, the following decisions were made:
- oil traders must maintain current prices and avoid sharp increases in fuel prices;
- it is necessary to form sufficient stocks of fuel to meet the needs of the domestic market and prevent a shortage of petroleum products.
Oil traders confirmed their readiness to ensure uninterrupted supplies of petroleum products until the end of the current year.
