As the country slowly emerges from the pandemic, industry leader Petron Corporation continued to regain significant volumes, taking advantage of the strong refining cracks in the region, its first quarter results show.

Petronm free flow shares are very limited hence once a quarterly good result announced the price will fly.
>> Petron’s consolidated sales volumes from the Philippines, Malaysia, and its trading unit in Singapore grew year-on-year, posting a 34% increase to 25.68 million barrels for the first quarter of 2022, due to higher demand and the easing of mobility restrictions.
"......and it's trading unit IN SINGAPORE"
so if it involves in export business, it's on a windfall.
not sure about in the philippines but subsidy business in malaysia will somehow cap the selling price locally. imo.
Fuel subsidy, costly as it is, will remain in Malaysia. However, it’s no secret that the government is looking at a more targeted approach to fuel subsidy, as opposed to the current blanket subsidised price, which is enjoyed by all Malaysians, whether rich or poor.
According to finance minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, Malaysia’s rich are enjoying the bulk of government subsidies. He said that the T20 group, the top 20% earners, benefitted from more than half of the RM4 billion the government has spent on petroleum subsidies this year, till March, due to the blanket subsidy method.
“For every RM1 of fuel subsidy, 53 cents go to the T20, while 15 cents benefit the B40. So, for example if the subsidy bill this year is expected to top RM30 billion, over RM15 billion is subsidy to the T20,” he said in a Q1 2022 Malaysian Economy interview today, reported by Astro Awani.
FUEL PRICE PER LITRE 19 MAY - 25 MAY 2022 PETRON BLAZE 100 EURO 4M: RM 5.50 PETRON BLAZE 97 EURO 4M: RM 4.33 PETRON BLAZE 95 EURO 4M: RM 2.05 PETRON TURBO DIESEL EURO 5: RM 2.35 PETRON DIESEL MAX: RM 2.15
Do every Malaysians understand the subsidized 95 petrol price cap at RM 2.05 as compare to unsubsidized 97 market price of RM 4.33 who actually paid for the different?
Ans: For every litre of subsidized 95 petrol price cap at RM 2.05. sold to consumers Petronm shall claim from Malaysia government RM (4.33 - 2.05)= RM 2.28.
So should government ban all those driving the luxury cars from using subsidized 95 petrol price cap at RM 2.05? Those driving luxury cars please next time you are at petrol station use only unsubsidized 97 petrol market price at RM 4.33.
To give an idea of how much the government is subsidizing our fuel habit, let’s take a look at the table below:
Fuel Price at the pump per liter (RM) Market price per liter (RM est.) Government subsidy per liter (RM est.) RON95 2.05 3.70 1.65 Diesel 2.15 4.00 1.85 RON97 4.00 4.00 0.00 *Prices as cited by Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz in Parliament on 10 March 2022.
Asian companies to ramp up petrol exports to US as sky-high prices beckon
JPMorgan Chase & Co forecast this week that American gasoline could surge to as high as $6.20 a gallon by August
Elizabeth Low | Bloomberg Last Updated at May 19, 2022 10:18 IST
The worsening gasoline crunch looks set to buoy Asian refiners -- particularly those in India -- as sky-high US prices encourage more exports.
US pump prices have now risen above $4 a gallon in all states for the first time ever as the summer driving season approaches. JPMorgan Chase & Co. forecast this week that American gasoline could surge to as high as $6.20 a gallon by August, which would be more than double the price a year ago.
Motor fuel is taking over from diesel as the major focus of fuel supply fears, with the tightening market stretching a global refining system that was hit by closures over the last couple of years due to Covid-19. In Asia, gasoline margins have doubled to more than $33 a barrel since the end of March and have edged above those for diesel, which have eased from a peak in early May.
“The tightness in the Atlantic Basin, especially in the US, should continue to see Asian gasoline barrels pulled West,” said Dylan Sim, an analyst at FGE. “This will mainly come from India, with several major refineries in the country postponing their planned maintenance to August-September.”
Asia’s gasoline deficit will narrow from an estimated 260,000 barrels a day in June to 110,000 barrels a day in the three months through September as plants return from maintenance and the PRefChem facility in Malaysia ramps up, the industry consultant said in a note. That should provide more scope for the region’s processors to increase exports.
The Indian shipments are likely to come from private refiners like Reliance Industries Ltd. and Nayara Energy Ltd., as the state-run processors have an obligation to meet domestic demand. The nation’s gasoline exports jumped to a five-year high of 1.6 million tons in March, the latest available data show, and domestic prices that have remained unchanged since early April are incentivizing refiners to send as much fuel abroad as they can.
Factors that could limit the amount of gasoline Asia can send to the US would be a comeback in Chinese demand, or an acceleration in consumption in the rest of the region. Crude processing in Asia’s largest economy tumbled to the lowest in more than two years last month, but it could recover quickly if China can put the worst of its current wave of virus outbreaks behind it.
While China is yet to rebound from the hit to oil demand due to Covid-19, fuel consumption in South and Southeast Asia is recovering strongly as restrictions ease, said Max van der Velden, an analyst at Wood Mackenzie Ltd.
To say all conventional cars running on fossil fuel will die in the future is akin to saying you know you will die in the future, why not dig a tomb and bury yourself now?
Hello, people drive Mercedes pay more taxes to the government, pumping few liters of subsidized fuel is not a big deal. ----------------- Memang betul.
