Petrolimex is the national petroleum corporation in Vietnam. Fuel prices follow a formula, based on import prices (Singapore spot market prices) and several margins, taxes and levies. The price is calculated and published daily by Petrolimex. In the daily newsletter publication, not only pump prices, but also the complete price breakdown is being published.
Vietnam has a stabilization fund for oil products, which is used to lower pump prices at times of import price peaks. As of March 2011, the value is positive, i.e. every sold litre of gasoline or diesel brings 300 Dong into the fund.
Historical timelines/statistics of fuelprices could not be found on the Petrolimes website (http://www.petrolimex.com.vn/).
"Vietnam has a price stabilization fund and every liter sold contributes to it, with the contribution varying from time to time. Until recently, fuel prices were set by government with irregular adjustments. Since mid-2012, price adjustments have been more market-based, with wholesalers allowed to adjust prices (although still subject to final government approval). Where price adjustments exceeding 7% are necessary, government is to consider other options to stabilize prices, such as reducing import tariffs and drawing down on the stabilization fund. Government was going to start deregulating prices in May 2007 but stopped because of price volatility. Government abolished subsidies to importers, but they were not allowed to raise retail prices without approval from the trade and finance ministries. With increases in retail prices failing to stay in line with rising international prices, importers suffered from negative margins. Import tariffs on gasoline and jet fuel were abolished in Feb 2012 and on diesel and kerosene in Mar 2012. Government has historically adjusted import tariffs frequently to smooth retail prices.
