3. The above adjustments are based on the analysis of the movement of petroleum products prices for the month of August 2023. Both crude oil prices and refined products prices increased in August. The increase was mainly driven by supply side factors such as the voluntary output cuts by Saudi Arabia that are to be extended to end of 2023.
