Vietnam fuel prices rise further as government taps stabilisation fund​

People queue to buy petrol at a petrol station after Vietnam's trade ministry called on local businesses to encourage their employees to work from home to save fuel amid disruptions in supply.

HANOI, March 11 (Reuters) - Gasoline and diesel prices in Vietnam continued to rise on Wednesday, the trade ministry said, even though the government tapped ‌its fuel price stabilisation fund to curb the increases brought about by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

Gasoline prices jumped 7.66%, while diesel rose 1.6%, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said. Kerosene prices ⁠fell 7.7%.

• The ministry said it had begun to draw on the Fuel Price Stabilisation Fund, allocating 4,000 dong ($0.15) per litre for gasoline and kerosene and 5,000 dong per litre for diesel.
• Vietnam's fuel stabilisation fund is designed to smooth sharp retail price swings during periods of global volatility, with fuel traders paying a fixed ‌amount ⁠per litre of sales into the government-controlled fund.
• Since the start of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, gasoline prices in Vietnam have risen by 44%, with diesel up ⁠59% and kerosene up 66%, according to data from top fuel trader Petrolimex.
• Vietnam on Tuesday called on businesses to ⁠encourage employees to work from home as part of efforts to reduce fuel consumption.
• Prime Minister Pham Minh ⁠Chinh also told the Ministry of Finance on Tuesday to scrap environmental protection taxes on fuels.

($1 = 26,249 dong)

Quite unless as the US is depleting their ammunition fast in the middle east, and expect these assets will soon be moved to the middle east.

Even these missiles are still placed in Philippines, and it can't even account as a tiny fraction of China's missile force.

China is a big elephant. Vietnam military potential is limited. Very possible the US will redeploy more weapons to Iran. But most probably just a temporary measure.

Before the war in Iran broke out Vietnamese airliners buy 700 new aircraft. Seems the bet pays off. Many Arab airliners are grounded or shaken or scaled back operations. Vietnamese airliners now fill part of the gap.

Vietnam’s aircraft orders are soaring. Now it wants the financing at home

Airlines are looking beyond the Middle East challenges as they aim to position the country as a regional aviation hub Read more at The Business Times.
