Despite rising tensions in the Middle East, Kyrgyzstan’s fuel market remains stable, with enough petroleum reserves to meet domestic demand for the next two months.

The country’s State Agency for Antimonopoly Regulation confirmed that current stockpiles of fuel and lubricants are sufficient to ensure uninterrupted supply, The Caspian Post reports via Kyrgyz media.

The agency recently held talks with major domestic oil traders, including RN-Kyrgyznefteprodukt, Partner Neft, and Alpha Oil, and confirmed that fuel deliveries from Russia are proceeding on schedule without disruptions.

Officials urged fuel retailers to maintain current prices, prevent sharp increases, and ensure adequate market supply to avoid shortages.

Global fuel prices have climbed amid ongoing military conflict in the Middle East. Risks to shipping routes - including attacks on oil and gas infrastructure and maritime vessels - have disrupted transportation volumes.

The situation has been further complicated by threats to halt certain maritime gas supplies and reports that the Strait of Hormuz is effectively blocked to vessels from Qatar, the UAE, Oman, and other countries.

While international markets remain volatile, Kyrgyz authorities insist that domestic consumers will continue to receive stable fuel supplies - at least for now.
