PHNOM PENH, Aug. 2 (Xinhua\/APP):– Cambodia imported oil products worth 1.91 billion U.S. dollars in the first half of 2022, up 25 percent from 1.52 billion dollars over the same period last year, according to a report from the General Department of Customs and Excise.<\/p>\n
Economy and Finance Ministry spokesman Meas Soksensan said Tuesday that international fuel prices have soared since the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out in February.<\/p>\n
“We are not an oil producer but an importer, so oil prices fluctuate according to the international market,” he said at a press conference in Phnom Penh.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Commerce’s oil price list showed that regular petrol costs 4,750 riels (1.16 U.S. dollars) per liter on Tuesday, while diesel costs 5,150 riels (1.26 dollars).<\/p>\n
The figures recorded that the prices of regular petrol and diesel rose 5.5 percent and 21 percent, respectively, compared to the prices in early February.<\/p>\n
Currently, Cambodia relies solely on oil imports as its seabed’s oil and gas reserves have not been tapped yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
