HANOI, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Vietnam will cut retail petrol prices by 5.3 percent to 18,000 dong ($1.07) per litre on Thursday, following lower world oil prices, a state-run newspaper said.
Prices for the popular 92-octane gasoline grade will be reduced from 19,000 dong now, the online newspaper VnExpress (www.vnexpress.net) cited a Finance Ministry directive as saying.
