Some foreign media outlets earlier reported about a possible rise in price for fuel from the beginning of 2019 in Turkmenistan.
The last time prices for gasoline in Turkmenistan went up on Feb. 1, 2018. The cost of the most demanded AI-95 gasoline increased from 1 Turkmen manat to 1.5 manats per 1 liter.
The official rate of the Turkmen manat against one US dollar has remained at 3.50 manats since January 2015.
Presently, gasoline in Turkmenistan is produced at oil refineries in Turkmenbashi and Seydi.
