China enforces retail oil price hike

Gasoline prices increased by 550RMB/ton while diesel inched up by 540RMB/ton.

According to BBVA Research, China today raised retail gasoline prices by 550 RMB per ton and diesel by 540 RMB per ton, the second such price hike in a month, in line with international price trends.

"The decision to increase domestic oil prices will likely push inflation slightly upwards, though with the economic slowdown and inflation of just 2.0% y/y in August, inflationary pressures should remain low. We expect inflation to rise gradually towards 3% by the end of the year, staying well below the government's 4% target for 2012," BBVA added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
