fuel raise the failure of Mahroukat , and the domestic price is 40% of the World
Category: Fuel | Posted on: 27-10-2010The results of tracking the implementation of the plan to end the third quarter of the establishments and companies of oil ministry to deficit in Mahroukat company at more than 74.5 billion Syrian pounds due to the support of oil derivatives and thus there is a shortfall in the price of materials of fuel oil – fuel – home gas.
Syria’s fuel consumption until the end of last month, according to sources with Ministry of Oil is about 3.9 million tons, down about one million tons from last year to enter the gas substitute after running the labs for the gas and this raises a question about support for fuel and deserves support Of the 3.9 million tons consumed by power plants, about 2.7 million tons and the rest of the public authorities about 670 thousand tons while the total private consumption of about 400 thousand tons, according to the same sources.
Of course, the sale of fuel is officially 8500 SP and this represents 40% of the world price in world price is 21 600 Syrian pounds, except the cost of transportation doesn’t mean that the support of more than 13 thousand pounds provided for each ton of fuel, but Can the Government to continue to provide this support to all people ?
will people turn to gas instead of fuel with these prices?
Everyone knows the existence of large investments (foreign and Arab) in the industrial areas which will be issued a large part of its production abroad and thus will get the support will not have a reflection of local and on but not limited to, there is a laboratory of the glass in the industrial city of Adra is the foreign investment has identified the need monthly fuel by 4700 tons per month, even if we calculated the support that will get this plant as the domestic price compared to international prices, it will get more than 800 million pounds per year and this raises the question as we have said about who deserves to fuel subsidized, especially as prices of fuel in neighboring countries arrive in Turkey for example, to 47 000 SP. While in Lebanon 23 500 pounds and Jordan 23 000 pounds and consequently that were not the government intends to distinguish between local and foreign investment, which produces for export, at least by raising the price by a specific and identify a certain amount of consumption at a certain price and then selling international prices as is the case with electricity.
