March 27, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Bie\u0142naftachim, Belarus\u2019 state petrochemical monopoly, has announced a modest increase in fuel prices, citing higher global oil prices and rising logistical costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices will increase by four kopecks on March 28 and by a further three kopecks on April 4. Despite the hikes, the price of gasoline and diesel fuel will remain below $1 per liter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of April 4, AI-92 will cost 2.57 rubels; AI-95, 2.67; AI-98, 2.89; and diesel fuel, 2.67 rubels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bie\u0142naftachim has avoided steeper increases since the 2010s after Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka accused it of triggering public unrest with a sharp rise in fuel prices. Instead, it raises fuel prices in smaller increments but more frequently.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus’ fuel prices have not changed for 11 months. The country has benefited from supplies of cheap Russian oil, but its government has made considerable economic, political and military concessions in return that have undermined its independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
