(Central News Agency Reporter Lu Yen-tzu, Taipei 2nd) Affected by the Middle East situation, international oil prices have risen. CPC Corporation, Taiwan, announced today that to care for domestic livelihoods and stabilize prices, gasoline and diesel prices will remain unadjusted next week. The price of 95 unleaded gasoline, which has the largest sales volume in Taiwan, will remain at NT$33.9 per liter. It is estimated that since the end of February, the total absorbed amount for gasoline and diesel will be approximately NT$13.2 billion.
CPC Corporation announced today via a press release that from 00:00 on May 4th to 24:00 on May 10th, gasoline and diesel prices will remain unadjusted. The參考retail prices are NT$32.4 per liter for 92 unleaded gasoline, NT$33.9 per liter for 95 unleaded gasoline, NT$35.9 per liter for 98 unleaded gasoline, and NT$31 per liter for super diesel.
CPC Corporation stated that the Middle East situation remains tense, and international oil prices have risen.

The total absorbed amount for gasoline and diesel will be NT$4.3 and NT$6.1 respectively, with the absorption rate increasing compared to last week.
According to CPC Corporation statistics, from the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran war on February 28th to May 3rd, based on the floating oil price mechanism and the policy to activate the U.S.-Iran war special stabilization mechanism, the total estimated absorbed amount for gasoline and diesel is approximately NT$13.2 billion.
