[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 27th, when international oil prices surpassed $100 per barrel due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, vehicles lined up at Seoul Mannam Square Discount Gas Station, known as one of the cheapest places in Seoul, to refuel.

Gasoline prices nationwide reached an average of 1,749.93 KRW per liter, with Seoul and Jeju exceeding 1,800 KRW per liter.

Domestic gasoline prices are expected to remain high for the time being due to the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In particular, there are concerns that if the situation prolongs, domestic gasoline prices could potentially surpass the 2,000 KRW per liter mark. The government is considering extending the fuel tax reduction measures to mitigate the shock of rising oil prices.
