According to the ministries website, diesel prices are only regulated at the wholesale level, i.e. the retailers market is liberal for diesel; pump prices for gasoline are regulated. (This is also the case for South Africa.)
 
 
 
A ‚Slate‘-Mechanism is used to compensate volatile In-Bond Landed Costs (IBLC) of liquid fuels. Fuel prices are recalculated quarterly using a Price Adjustment Mechanism established in 1997. This mechnism accounts for changed IBLC and the current ‚Slate‘-balance.
 
 
 
Regulated prices hold for the coastal cities. Fuel prices in inland cities, that are supplied with fuels via train, are subject to an additional transportation fee reflecting the actual costs.
