LNG is sold in the region at 7.00 somonis per liter. The price of one liter of diesel fuel in GBAO is 12.40 somonis.
Fuel market experts say the fuel price fall in Tajikistan has resulted from the Russian ruble's appreciation against the dollar.
Representatives of refueling stations, however, say the fuel prices have slightly declined in the country due to the deliveries made by large fuel importers.
As far as prices for diesel fuel in Tajikistan are concerned, some experts attribute invariability of them to the ongoing and harvest seasons.
