Diesel, RON97 and unsubsidised RON95 prices up by RM0.35 for Sept 17-23 period

The Ministry of Finance announced RON97, RON95, and diesel prices will rise by 35 sen per litre from 17-23 September due to global price increases.

Tensions in West Asia, including attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, caused Brent crude oil prices to rise above US$100 per barrel.

The Madani Government will maintain targeted subsidies, with eligible consumers paying RM1.99 for RON95 and RM2.10 for diesel under the BUDI Madani scheme.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 16 — The retail prices of RON97 petrol, unsubsidised RON95 petrol and unsubsidised diesel will each increase by 35 sen per litre for the Sept 17-23 period, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said.

In a statement today, MOF said the retail price of RON97 would increase to RM4.85 per litre from RM4.50, while unsubsidised RON95 would rise to RM4.37 from RM4.02 and unsubsidised diesel to RM5.27 from RM4.92.

The ministry said the increase in global fuel prices was driven by heightened tensions in West Asia amid the conflict, which has entered its 200th day.

“Iran had attacked 10 vessels near the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for US attacks on five Iranian tankers, while attacks also extended to Yemen and Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure. Vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz had fallen to single-digit levels following the surge in attacks.

“The situation worsened after drone attacks forced the temporary suspension of operations along Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline, which is among the key routes bypassing the Strait of Hormuz,” the statement said.

MOF said these developments drove Brent crude oil prices back above US$100 per barrel, reaching nearly US$110 per barrel during the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM) calculation period.

At the same time, the ministry said disruptions to refining capacity in Russia and constraints on crude oil supplies continued to limit the production of refined petroleum products, keeping refining margins high and putting upward pressure on global petroleum prices.

According to MOF, escalating tensions in West Asia and the Russia-Ukraine conflict could result in prolonged volatility in global petroleum prices.

Meanwhile, MOF said the Madani Government would continue to protect the people and businesses from the impact of global uncertainties, including by maintaining targeted BUDI Madani subsidies for eligible consumers.

Under BUDI95, eligible recipients will continue to pay RM1.99 per litre for RON95, with the government bearing a subsidy of RM2.38 per litre, or 54 per cent of the unsubsidised price of RM4.37.

For BUDI Diesel, recipients will pay RM2.10 per litre, with the government providing a subsidy of RM3.17 per litre, or 60 per cent of the unsubsidised price of RM5.27.

The basic monthly eligibility limit for BUDI95 and BUDI Diesel was raised again to 300 litres effective Sept 1, while eligible owners of diesel-powered pickup trucks and jeeps would receive an additional 100 litres, bringing their total monthly eligibility to 400 litres, the ministry said.

“The Madani Government will continue to take a prudent approach to protect the people from price fluctuations while ensuring the nation’s fuel supply remains sufficient and secure,” the statement read. — Bernama

财政部宣布，由于全球油价上涨，RON97、RON95汽油和柴油价格将从9月17日至23日每升上涨35仙。

西亚地区的紧张局势，包括霍尔木兹海峡附近的袭击事件，导致布伦特原油价格上涨至每桶100美元以上。

马达尼政府将继续提供定向补贴，符合条件的消费者根据 BUDI Madani 计划，购买 RON95 汽油只需支付 1.99 令吉，购买柴油只需支付 2.10 令吉。

吉隆坡，9月16日讯——财政部表示，9月17日至23日期间，RON97汽油、非补贴RON95汽油和非补贴柴油的零售价格将每升上涨35仙。

财政部今天发表声明称，RON97汽油零售价将从每升4.50令吉上涨至4.85令吉，非补贴RON95汽油零售价将从每升4.02令吉上涨至4.37令吉，非补贴柴油零售价将从每升4.92令吉上涨至5.27令吉。

该部表示，全球燃油价格上涨是由于西亚冲突局势加剧所致，这场冲突已经持续了200天。

“伊朗袭击了霍尔木兹海峡附近的10艘船只，以报复美国袭击5艘伊朗油轮，袭击范围还扩大到也门和沙特阿拉伯的能源基础设施。袭击事件激增后，霍尔木兹海峡的船只通行量已降至个位数。”

声明称：“无人机袭击迫使沙特阿拉伯东西输油管道暂时停止运营，导致局势恶化。该管道是绕过霍尔木兹海峡的关键路线之一。”

财政部表示，这些进展推动布伦特原油价格重回每桶100美元以上，在自动定价机制（APM）计算期间接近每桶110美元。

与此同时，该部表示，俄罗斯炼油产能中断和原油供应受限继续限制成品油的生产，使炼油利润率居高不下，并对全球石油价格构成上行压力。

据财政部称，西亚紧张局势升级和俄乌冲突可能导致全球石油价格长期波动。

与此同时，财政部表示，马达尼政府将继续保护人民和企业免受全球不确定性的影响，包括继续向符合条件的消费者提供有针对性的马达尼政府补贴。

根据 BUDI95 计划，符合资格的受益人将继续以每升 1.99 令吉的价格购买 RON95 汽油，政府将补贴每升 2.38 令吉，即未补贴价格 4.37 令吉的 54%。

对于 BUDI 柴油，受益人将支付每升 2.10 令吉，政府将提供每升 3.17 令吉的补贴，即未补贴价格 5.27 令吉的 60%。

该部表示，自 9 月 1 日起，BUDI95 和 BUDI 柴油的基本月度配额上限再次提高至 300 升，而符合条件的柴油动力皮卡和吉普车车主将额外获得 100 升，使其每月总配额达到 400 升。

声明称：“马达尼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
