PTT and Bangchak subsequently announced that prices for all grades of petrol would be increased by 1.20 baht per litre, also from 5am Thursday. The diesel increase was announced late Wednesday after the Oil Fuel Fund committee reduced the subsidy for the fuel from 22.89 baht to 17.78 baht per litre. The pump price of B20 biodiesel was also increased by 3.50 baht, to 39.24 baht per litre after the subsidy was cut to 20.12 baht. The Oil Fuel Fund, meanwhile, is preparing to seek bank loans to stabilise its finances, having run up a deficit of 42 billion baht subsidising fuel prices.
