Due to the sharp rise in international oil prices, gasoline prices at gas stations nationwide continued to increase for the fifth consecutive week. According to the Korea National Oil Corporation's oil price information site Opinet on the 20th, the retail price of gasoline at gas stations nationwide in the third week of this month recorded 1,718.4 won per liter, up 26.6 won from the previous week. The rise in international oil prices is attributed to strong U.S. oil demand and escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
