Cambodia is increasing fuel imports from Singapore and Malaysia to offset supply shortages from Vietnam and China, attributed to global fuel availability issues stemming from the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Cambodia Diversifies Fuel Sources

Cambodia is boosting its fuel imports from suppliers in Singapore and Malaysia to compensate for shortfalls from Vietnam and China. This move comes as the US-Israeli war on Iran has tightened global fuel availability, according to the country's energy minister.

Petrol Station Closures Stabilizing

Energy Minister Keo Rottanak stated that about a third of Cambodia's 6,300 petrol stations closed last week due to concerns over the conflict's impact on fuel prices. However, the current closure rate has dropped to just 5.77%, indicating an improvement in the situation. This suggests that the efforts to secure new supply sources are yielding some positive results.
