On August 26, Minsk /Anna Kot - BELTA/. In Belarus, from September 1 of the current year, the ex-factory prices of producer organizations for hydrocarbon liquefied fuel gases for road transport, as well as the maximum retail prices for liquefied gas for refueling road transport at gas filling stations, will increase by 10%, the public relations department of the Ministry of Economy of Belarus informed BELTA correspondent. This decision is contained in the ministry's resolutions of August 19 of the current year No. 133 "On Amendments to the Resolution of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Belarus of April 4, 2011 No. 52" and No. 134 "On Setting Maximum Retail Prices for Liquefied Gas at Gas Filling Stations". Thus, at gas filling stations, the maximum minimum price of liquefied gas from September 1 will increase from Br2370 per liter to Br2600, and the maximum maximum price from Br2550 to Br2800. "Liquefied gas in Belarus is produced mainly from imported raw materials. The current ex-factory prices for liquefied gases do not ensure the profitable operation of the organizations producing them," the Ministry of Economy of Belarus explained the reason for the price increase. -0-
