Did the price of crude oil drop? Did the price of Pertamina oil fuel drop? This is the reason

GridOto.com – World oil prices are currently experiencing a decline.

Unfortunately, PT Pertamina (Persero) does not appear to reduce the price of fuel (BBM).

How did this happen?

Explained by Fajriyah Usman as Pertamina’s Vice President of Corporate Communications, one reason was because the price reduction had been done multiple times.

“For products like Pertalite, Pertamax, Pertamax Turbo, Dexlite and Pertamina Dex, we have reduced their prices several times in January 2020 and also in February 2020,” Fajriyah said in his press conference via the Zoom app on Sunday ( 03/05/2020))

Fajriyah also explained that in 2019 Pertamina had also reduced the prices of some of its products twice.

“So we actually continue to decline, we continue to evaluate prices, and so far Pertamina continues to monitor the dynamics of oil prices in the world, yes,” he said.

As we know, the world’s condition is currently in an abnormal condition due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fajriyah also explained that each country was experiencing a different situation.

“Therefore, energy needs are expected to return to normal in the near future,” he said.
