The Deputy Director of the Da Nang branch of the Viet Nam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex), Mr Nguyen Ngoc Man, said that from early November the retail price of Petrolimex cooking gas on the domestic market has increased by 18,000 VND per 12kg cylinder.  This is due to an increase of 60 USD per tonne in the world gas price.

However, in an attempt to help the storm-affected central provinces, the retail price of cooking gas from Quang Binh to Quang Ngai provinces had risen only by between 7,000 VND  and  8,000 VND per 12kg cylinder.

The city’s branch of Petrolimex recently visited and gave gifts, totalling 160 million VND, to badly affected victims living in Hoi An City, and the Dai Loc, Thang Binh and Que Son districts of Quang Nam Province.
