The RKE regulatory commission announced another gas price hike later today.

The commission amended its model and is now changing the gas price daily, depending on fluctuations on the international markets. It especially hiked the diesel fuel price, almost equaling it to the regular gas.

The Government also decided to reduce the profit margin that can be collected by gas retailers from 4.5 to 3 denars per liter. This move is angering gas station owners and some of them, in more rural parts of the country, are threatening to shut down.
