In a brief statement, OGRA explained that the LPG producer price is tied to the Saudi Aramco Contract Price (CP) and the US Dollar exchange rate. Although the Saudi Aramco-CP remained unchanged from the previous month, a 0.06 percent rise in the average dollar exchange rate led to the slight increase in the LPG consumer price.
