DUSHANBE, December 29, 2011, Asia-Plus – The Antimonopoly Agency under the Government of Tajikistan has endorsed the price of 92-octane gasoline being sold in the country through a chain of fuel stations operated by Gazpromneft Tajikistan.

Gazpromneft Tajikistan has set the price of one liter of 92-octane gasoline realized through its chain of fuel stations at 6.75 somoni.

Since Gazpormneft Tajikistan is on the register of monopolists it must coordinate new prices with the antimonopoly commission.  The source says the Antimonopoly Agency has analyzed validity of economic calculations for prices and approved them.

Many companies and individual entrepreneurs now work in Tajikistan’s fuel market, but only six of them are dominants, namely limited liability companies Gazpormneft Tajikistan, Nouri Dilshod, Anahito, Ozod International, Khonaqo Nefteprodukt (oil product), and Umed-88.
