Finance Ministry: RON97 down to RM5.10, diesel to RM5.17

The Ministry of Finance (MOF) of Malaysia announced a reduction in retail prices of RON97, unsubsidised RON95, and diesel by 5 sen and 10 sen per litre respectively, effective from October 15 to 21.

Amidst ongoing global tensions and supply risks in West Asia, the Malaysian government is committed to maintaining fuel subsidies, with plans to allocate RM40 billion in 2027 to shield citizens and businesses from price volatility.

Despite the sufficient supply, MOF encourages prudent fuel consumption to alleviate subsidy pressures.

The BUDI MADANI initiative will continue to offer subsidised fuel prices for eligible recipients.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 — The retail prices of RON97 and unsubsidised RON95 petrol will fall by 5 sen per litre each to RM5.10 and RM4.62 respectively, while unsubsidised diesel will drop by 10 sen to RM5.17 per litre from Oct 15 to 21.

In a statement yesterday, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said although Brent crude oil prices remained above US$100 (RM409) per barrel, supplies of refined petroleum products in the regional market had begun to show signs of recovery.

According to the ministry, China had re-authorised fuel exports for October, while South Korea continued to supply refined petroleum products to the regional market, helping to ease supply pressures.

“Nevertheless, the conflict in West Asia, including the attacks in Saudi Arabia last week, increases the risk of supply disruptions and rising petroleum prices. Price volatility is expected to continue in the medium term.

“The government will continue to protect the people and businesses from the impact of this global uncertainty. As announced in Budget 2027, the government is expected to spend RM40 billion on fuel subsidies next year to support economic growth and ensure the sustainability of the people’s livelihoods,” MOF said.

MOF said recipients of BUDI MADANI RON95 (BUDI95) would continue to pay RM1.99 per litre, compared with the unsubsidised RON95 price of RM4.62 per litre. The government would bear a subsidy of RM2.63 per litre, or 57 per cent of the unsubsidised price.

Recipients of BUDI MADANI Diesel (BUDI Diesel) would continue to pay RM2.10 per litre, compared with the unsubsidised diesel price of RM5.17 per litre. The government would provide a subsidy of RM3.07 per litre, or 59 per cent of the unsubsidised price.

“Although the country’s fuel supply remains sufficient for now, the government urges the public to continue practising prudent fuel consumption.

“More efficient travel planning and reducing unnecessary trips can help prolong the nation’s fuel supply and reduce pressure on subsidy expenditure,” the ministry said.

MOF said the government would continue to take a prudent approach to protect the people from price fluctuations while ensuring that the country’s fuel supply remained sufficient and secure. — Bernama

马来西亚财政部宣布，从 10 月 15 日至 21 日，RON97 汽油、非补贴 RON95 汽油和柴油的零售价格分别下调 5 仙和 10 仙/升。

在全球局势持续紧张和西亚供应风险的背景下，马来西亚政府致力于维持燃油补贴，并计划在 2027 年拨款 400 亿令吉，以保护公民和企业免受价格波动的影响。

尽管供应充足，但财政部鼓励节约燃料，以减轻补贴压力。

BUDI MADANI计划将继续为符合条件的受益人提供燃油价格补贴。

吉隆坡，10月15日讯——从10月15日至21日，RON97汽油和非补贴RON95汽油的零售价格将分别下调5仙至每升5.10令吉和4.62令吉，而非补贴柴油的价格将下调10仙至每升5.17令吉。

财政部昨日发表声明称，尽管布伦特原油价格仍高于每桶100美元（409令吉），但区域市场成品油供应已开始出现复苏迹象。

据该部称，中国已重新批准10月份的燃料出口，而韩国继续向区域市场供应成品油，有助于缓解供应压力。

“然而，西亚地区的冲突，包括上周沙特阿拉伯发生的袭击事件，增加了供应中断和石油价格上涨的风险。预计中期内价格波动将持续。”

财政部表示：“政府将继续保护民众和企业免受全球不确定性的影响。正如2027年财政预算案中所宣布的，政府预计明年将支出400亿令吉用于燃油补贴，以支持经济增长并确保人民生计的可持续性。”

财政部表示，BUDI MADANI RON95汽油（简称BUDI95）的受益人将继续支付每升1.99令吉，而未经补贴的RON95汽油价格为每升4.62令吉。政府将补贴每升2.63令吉，相当于未经补贴价格的57%。

享受“布迪马达尼柴油”（BUDI Diesel）补贴的消费者将继续支付每升2.10令吉，而未补贴的柴油价格为每升5.17令吉。政府将提供每升3.07令吉的补贴，相当于未补贴价格的59%。

“虽然目前该国的燃料供应仍然充足，但政府敦促公众继续节约燃料。

该部表示：“提高出行计划效率，减少不必要的出行，有助于延长国家的燃料供应，减轻补贴支出的压力。”

财政部表示，政府将继续采取审慎的态度，保护民众免受价格波动的影响，同时确保国家燃料供应充足安全。——马新社
