The Department of Domestic Market Management and Development ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ) has just provided information on the situation of discounts of petroleum businesses increasing and decreasing with strong amplitude in recent times due to the impact of the conflict in the Middle East.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, in the past 2 weeks, the world oil market has fluctuated due to conflicts in the Middle East, causing world oil prices to increase, and the risk of supply disruption. Some key traders have reduced the oil discount for agents to 500 VND, or 100-200 VND. However, by June 25, 2025, due to positive signals from negotiations in the Middle East, oil prices have decreased, the risk of supply shortage has also decreased, so the discounts of key enterprises have also increased again.
Gasoline discounts of some key enterprises on June 30, 2025 are as follows: Phuc Lam Company: 2,600 VND; Military Petroleum Corporation: 1,800-2,300 VND (depending on the region); Vietnam Oil Corporation: 2,300-2,400 VND; Saigon Petro: gasoline 1,600 VND, oil 1,400 VND; Petrolimex : 1,700 - 1,900 VND (depending on the item).
Thus, when participating in business in the market, petrol dealers and retail stores need to accept the rules of the market and be subject to market regulation (supply, demand, price). Therefore, they need to have their own business plan to respond when the market fluctuates.
For example, when world oil prices are low and supply is abundant, key and distribution companies can offer high discounts to retailers; however, when world oil prices increase or are forecast to increase and supply becomes scarcer, retailers may have to accept low discounts, or even negative discounts, but still have to import goods to maintain business operations, in return for enjoying high discounts.
The discount level in the petroleum business is the discount level of the petroleum selling enterprise to the petroleum buying enterprise compared to the retail price of petroleum. The discount level is flexibly adjusted by the petroleum selling enterprises (reflecting the market), depending on the fluctuations of supply and demand, prices in the world and domestic markets. The current legal regulations on petroleum trading in Vietnam do not stipulate the discount rate. The State only creates the environment, manages, operates and regulates the ceiling price of petroleum retail prices (to protect the interests of consumers and manage the macro economy), does not regulate the discount rate in petroleum trading of enterprises. The high or low discount depends on the business relationship of the enterprise and the business contract between enterprises. | |
