Adequate petrol supplies promised

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has confirmed there will be enough fuel imported for the needs of production and domestic consumption.

The ministry said importers were committed to their plans and wholesalers had been asked to ensure an even distribution of fuel to petrol stations.

Meanwhile, the Ministry's Market Management Department would continue probing for illegal pricing, measurement and quality activities as well as speculation, smuggling and misinformation, it said.

Early this month, petrol dealers and distributors asked ministries to adjust petrol prices due to rising global prices as the domestic stabilisation fund showed signs of running out of money.
