April 3 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan plans to raise its
ceiling on 92/93-octane gasoline prices by 11% and that of
diesel by 20% in order to bring them into line with those in
neighbouring countries, acting energy minister Bolat Akchulakov
said on Monday.
The oil-rich nation has some of the world's lowest fuel
prices.
The increases will raise the price of gasoline to 205 tenge
($0.4528) per litre, or $1.70 per gallon, while diesel will rise
to 295 tenge ($0.6516) per litre, or $2.50 per gallon.
($1 = 452.7300 tenge)
