The National Statistics Office reports that gasoline imports totaled 227.1 million USD as of November, a 32 percent increase over November 2016.
Diesel fuel imports grew by 75.8 percent and reached 385.5 million USD. Coal export advances, transport cycles, and the overall economy saw growth in 2017. Officials say that excise tax on fuel is expected to gradually increase under terms set for the IMF's extended fund facility program, which could result in increasing fuel demands.
