“We are constantly analyzing the issue of price formation for oil products sold at the company's filling stations. We believe that if the cost of production decreases, then we must reduce the cost of its sale. And this practice will continue,” Director of UNG Petro Mirzokhid Musaev said previously.
The main reason for the decline in prices on the international oil market is the introduction of the coronavirus-related quarantine in European countries.
