UPDATE 1-MALAYSIA TO SCRAP FUEL PRICE CURBS, USE MARKET RATE 03-Jun-2008 12:16:00
|
| -
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Reuters) - Malaysia will scrap fuel price controls
in August and allow pump prices to rise in line with market rates as part of
plans to cut the government's burgeoning subsidy bill, the domestic trade
minister said on Tuesday.
The government will instead use a quota system or cash payments to
cushion the impact on a population used to fuel prices that are less than
half those in neighbouring Singapore.
"There will be no control prices...by August. So it will depend on global
market prices," Minister Shahrir Samad told reporters.
"You can't have a price increase without giving some form of subsidy to
Malaysians."
The government was considering two options as part of an overhaul of its
fuel subsidy scheme -- offering direct cash or setting quotas, Shahrir said.
The government will provide details of the new fuel subsidy system on
Wednesday, he said on Monday.
Fuel prices in Malaysia are among the cheapest in Asia, with petrol
selling for just 1.92 ringgit (60 U.S. cents) a litre, less than half the
price in neighbouring Singapore.
Malaysia is a net oil exporter and gains from high oil prices, reaping
250 million ringgit ($77.6 million) a year in revenue for every $1 rise in
crude prices.
But the government's fuel subsidy bill also has jumped along with
skyrocketing crude prices, pushing it to find ways to ease the burden on its
finances.
Domestic fuel prices in many developing countries remain capped despite
the doubling of oil prices in the last 12 months. Subsidies allow consumers
to continue guzzling oil, pushing up world prices.
But this is changing -- Indonesia and Taiwan cut fuel subsidies last
month and India is also poised to take action. In Sri Lanka, President
Mahinda Rajapaksa proposed floating fuel prices and suspending import of
vehicles for one year, local media reported. (Editing by Jacqueline Wong)

[table=98%] | MALAYSIA PUMP PRICES TO REFLECT GLOBAL RATES IN AUG-MINISTER 03-Jun-2008 10:58:00
|
| KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Reuters) - Malaysia's fuel prices at the pump will
reflect global market rates in August as the government grapples with a
rising subsidy bill from record high oil prices, the domestic trade minister
said on Tuesday.
The minister, Shahrir Samad, said the government was considering two fuel
subsidies as part of its revamp of its fuel subsidy scheme -- offering direct
cash or setting quotas.
But pump prices will be at global market rates by August, he said.
The minister had said on Monday the government will unveil a new fuel
subsidy scheme on Wednesday that may lead to higher petrol and diesel prices
later in the year.
