The prices were increased by an average of 5%.

“The prices were reviewed to partially compensate for the negative effect of the fluctuations of the Belarusian ruble's exchange rate against foreign currencies and to gradually bring the prices of oil products in the Republic Belarus and the Russian Federation to the same level,” the company says.

The latest increase in fuel prices in Belarus was at the end of 2013. Belneftekhim rose prices by an average of 2%.
