South Korea's industry ministry announced that the government will maintain the price caps on fuel products for the fourth consecutive period, effective Friday, in response to high international oil prices and ongoing tensions in the Middle East. Starting Saturday, the maximum prices at which local refiners can supply gasoline, diesel, and kerosene to gas stations will remain at 1,784 won (approximately $1.30), 1,773 won, and 1,380 won per liter, respectively, for a four-week period.
