Retail gasoline prices in the country have witnessed 19 adjustment in the year to date, including 13 hikes and six reductions.

The National Assembly on July 6 adopted lowered environmental tax on fuel, applied from July 11 till the year-end, amidst increasing oil prices that put pressure on inflation.

The tax cuts - the second time in the year after the first this April - are expected to help the national economy better navigate a global situation in which oil prices have soared.

CPI in the first six months rose 2.44% on average against the same period last year. The WB and the IMF expect Vietnam’s 2022 inflation to be contained at a maximum of 4%, which is the State Bank of Vietnam's target.
