"Belnaftahіm" wants to raise price of petrol and diesel oil by 5% and 15% respectively

"Belnaftahіm” suggests raising the price of petrol by 5% and the price of diesel oil – by 15% in the domestic market. The deputy Minister of Economy of Belarus Uladzimir Adashkevich informed “Interfax” about it. The decision may be taken this week. "Belnaftahіm" thinks it is necessary to raise the domestic price of mineral oil because the price of oil in the international market has increased.

By the way, the price of mineral oil was increased by 4.7% in December 2007. In general, the price of mineral oil increased 4 times in 2007. The annual price rise totaled 19.4%.
