State-run newspapers reported that the Thilawa oil storage tanks are almost full of fuel and tankers are constantly arriving.

While there were queues of vehicles waiting to buy fuel at gas stations last year, there has been no such queue this year, the report said, adding that the Thilawa oil storage tanks are almost full and tankers are constantly arriving.

In addition, domestic fuel prices are expected to rise next week due to a slight increase in global crude oil prices and fuel prices in the Asia-Pacific region. However, the report said that prices will still be more than 250 kyats per liter below the prices seen at the beginning of the year due to the depreciation of the foreign exchange rate.
