The
Government has changed the rate of emergency tax on petroleum products imported
through Sukhbaatar, Zamiin-Uud, Ereentsav and Altanbulag ports. It has been
raised from MNT120,000 to MNT220,000 for A-80 petroleum, from MNT170,000 to MNT220,000
 for AI-92, and from MNT115,000 to MNT215,000
for diesel. The new rates take effect on July 9. The Government does not expect
any rise in fuel price following the increase.
