The amount of specific trade margin for retail sale of standard type basic oil products will be increased by 6 bani in Moldova
It is planned that in the first half of 2025 the specific trade margin for gasoline will amount to 3.34 lei/liter and for diesel fuel - 3.35 lei/liter, instead of 3.28 lei/liter for gasoline and 3.29 lei/liter for diesel fuel in the second half of 2024. This follows from the materials of the National Agency for Energy Regulation (NAER), which published a draft decision on the approval of the specific trade margin for the retail sale of basic oil products for the first half of 2025. According to NAER, the increase in the mentioned specific trade margin is due to the change in the consumer price index over the last 6 months (June-November 2024). The inflation rate for this period amounted to 1.8%. As a result, taking into account that all importers of petroleum products must also include in the sales price of petroleum products a fixed amount set by the government in the form of an energy efficiency contribution, the specific trading margin is scheduled to increase by 6 bani in the first half of 2025. The specific trade margin for the retail sale of standard type basic oil products includes all expenses of market operators for the import and sale of oil products: transportation and insurance expenses up to the territory of Moldova (including refining margin), handling and storage expenses, all other expenses on the territory of Moldova related to the retail sale of fuel (salaries, depreciation of fixed assets, operating lease, etc.), as well as the profit that companies can obtain under the conditions of applying the principle of efficiency in their activities. // 20.12.2024 - InfoMarket
