The downstream market of oil products is open and fuel pricing is liberal in Tajikistan. Tajikistan imports 90% of its oil products from Russia (as of 2010). In April 2011, Tajikistan faced fuel shortages due to a Russian export stop on oil products, motivated by shortages on the domestic downstream market in Russia. Due to these shortages, fuel prices are expected to rise considerably, as of May 2011 (→App.A1).
Oil exports from Russia to Tajikistan were tax-free until May 1st, 2010, when Russia installed an export tax. Since then, this tax has steadily been rising (203 US$/ton in May 2010, 232 US$ per ton in Feb2011, →see App. A1).
According to an internet article (→see App. A1), the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade (MEDT) collects fuel price data. However, no information regarding fuel prices could be found on the ministries website (http://medt.tj/). The Ministry of Energy and Industry (http://minenergoprom.tj/) supervises the fuel sector, giving a legal framework and policies for the market. Only very general information regarding fuel prices could be found on their website; actual prices, historic prices or details on the fuel price composition could not be found.
According to another internet article (→App. A2), the oil company Gazpromneft-Tajikistan, a subsidiary of the Russian Gazprom oil company, dominates the downstream market for oil products in Tajikistan (35% share of all oil product imports).
