The Ministry of Commerce („Ministre du Commerce et de la Promotion du Secteur privé“) is in charge of setting fuel prices.
"A 2002 decree established an automatic pricing mechanism, requiring adjustments when benchmark prices varied by ±5%. In the face of soaring world oil prices in 2007–08, government did not adjust prices in line with world prices, and a government audit found that the net shortfalls borne by oil companies had grown to 1.5% of GDP. When world prices fell in 2008 and 2009, government maintained price levels in the hope of making up for the accumulated shortfall. The principle of automatic price adjustments was reaffirmed in a decree issued in Nov 2010, but government did not start adjusting retail prices until Jun 2011 and fuel subsidies soared between Jan and May 2011. Taxes on petroleum products were waived in mid-2011. Prices have been frozen since." (Source: Kojima, Masami.
