No hike in petrol price during Thingyan: MPTA
The public can be assured that petrol prices will not increase during the Thingyan period, Dr Win Myint, secretary of the Myanmar Petroleum Trade Association (MPTA) said. He said this at a press conference on Wednesday at the main office of the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry. “All the members have discussed this. We will not be increasing petroleum prices just because it is Thingyan. We have called for this meeting to announce that petrol will be sold normally, according to global prices,” Dr Win Myint said. He was speaking in response to rumours circulating last week that petrol prices will go up during Thingyan.
