In Moldova, following a significant increase in fuel imports, the number of gas stations experiencing a diesel shortage has decreased. Authorities note that commercial stocks have risen and the market supply situation is gradually stabilizing, although restrictions remain in place in some regions.
Moldova is drafting new regulations that specifically govern the storage of petroleum products for emergency reserves and establish a special mechanism for granting operators access to this activity.
