Mahrouqat" deletes the bulletin of the increase in fuel prices from its official IDs

The Syrian Company for the Storage and Distribution of Petroleum Materials "Mahrouqat" deleted from all its pages and official identifiers the bulletin it issued this morning, according to which it raised the prices of hydrocarbons by up to 30%, without publishing any explanation or alternative pricing until the moment of preparing this article.

 This complete absence of any price reference has created widespread confusion in markets and gas stations, with some stations stopping selling pending "official guidance", while others have raised their prices indiscriminately, leading to suffocating congestion and an immediate rise in transport fares and commodity prices.

Meanwhile, local sources  spoke of directives issued to cancel the recent increase in fuel prices and return to the previous price, in a rapid decline that reflects the extent of the confusion that accompanied the announcement of the new price bulletin this morning.

According to sources, the circulating directives stipulate a return to the previous prices, so that the price of 90-octane gasoline will stabilize at $0.85 per liter, 95-octane gasoline at $1.05, and diesel at $0.75, while the price of a domestic gas cylinder will return to $10.50, and industrial gas will return to $16.80, which were in effect before the cancellation bulletin was issued.
