Up to January 2009 a system of ad hoc price changes as in place. But in the wake of the crude oil price peaks the government decided to cap the subsidies at the level they reached when oil cost 52$ per barrel. Whenever the international price (international benchmark not defined) of oil exceeded the reference price 52$ per barrel by 10$ over a period of three consecutive months, prices of petroleum products increased by an a priori fixed amount. These amounts are 50 millimes for a liter of gasoline, diesel and kerosene, and 200 millimes for a 13 kg bottle of LPG. The last adjustment under this system took place on the 21.2.2010. In February 2010 the reference price was raised to 60$ per barrel.
"Pricing policy: Government controls, subsidizes, and infrequently adjusts fuel prices. The prices of gasoline, diesel, and fuel oil were frozen between Dec 2010 and Sep 2012. The kerosene price has not been adjusted since Dec 2010. The price of LPG for household use was lowered in Jan 2011 and has not been adjusted since."
