The Union of Oil Product Importers connects the import reduction to seasonal factors. Namely: import and consumption of oil products is traditionally less during this month of the year, compared to previous months, since certain stocks are created in December. Besides, in January there are many holidays, which significantly reduces oil product consumption.
