In Moldova, the size of the specific trading margin for the retail sale of basic standard petroleum products has been increased by 3.5% - NAER.
In the second half of 2024 it will be 3.28 lei/liter for gasoline and 3.29 lei/liter for diesel fuel. The National Agency for Energy Regulation made this decision on June 18. In the first half of 2024, the specific trading margin for gasoline was 3.17 lei/liter, and for diesel fuel - 3.18 lei/liter. As noted in the NAER's report, the increase in the specific trading margin was mainly influenced by the change in the consumer price index over the past 6 months (December 2023 – May 2024). According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the inflation rate for this period was 3.56%. The specific trading margin for the retail sale of basic petroleum products of a standard type includes all costs of market operators when importing and selling petroleum products: transport and insurance costs to the territory of Moldova (including oil refining margin), costs of loading and unloading and warehousing, all other costs in the territory of Moldova, associated with the retail sale of fuel (salaries, depreciation of fixed assets, operating lease, etc.), as well as the profit that companies can receive, in conditions of applying the principle of efficiency in activity. // 18.06.2024 — InfoMarket.
