OIL PRODUCT PRICES INCREASED IN ARMENIA
Oil product wholesale prices increased in Armenia. According to the information of the leading Armenian oil traders, the wholesale prices raised 4-5% for petrol and 10-20% for diesel oil. As the correspondent of "Arminfo" agency was informed in "Flash" Company Administration, the wholesale price for a litre of petrol, which had made 245 drams, reached 260 drams. This is due to cost increase at international oil markets responding the terrorist acts in USA. New purchases of fuel by the Armenian oil traders were made at higher prices. Increase of wholesale prices has not affected retail trade yet as old supplies are being offered to the customers at present.
