Nevertheless, as emphasized by the representative of the antimonopoly service, the price situation in the country remains under control. Fuel prices in Kyrgyzstan are lower than in neighboring countries such as Armenia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, and are comparable to prices in Belarus and Russia.
The agency actively monitors the market, interacting with oil traders, associations, and business representatives to prevent sharp price fluctuations and fuel shortages. According to the service's data, the profitability of market participants is approximately 1 som per liter.
In the event of intensified external factors, the authorities are ready to consider additional measures to stabilize the situation. Among the proposed solutions are agreements with Russian oil refineries to fix prices, possible tax burden reduction, subsidizing the industry, and providing preferential loans to suppliers for forming fuel reserves.
