China cuts domestic oil prices

By Du Juan | China Daily | Updated: 2013-04-25 09:27

China's top economic planning agency said that it will cut domestic oil prices by about 400 yuan ($64) a metric ton starting from Thursday, in the first price adjustment since the country launched a new gasoline pricing mechanism on March 26.

Retail gasoline prices will drop 395 yuan a ton, or 0.29 yuan a liter, and diesel prices will fall 400 yuan a ton, or 0.34 yuan a liter, the National Development and Reform Commission said on Wednesday.

On April 10, the NDRC decided not to change domestic oil prices because average international gasoline prices over the previous 10 working days had remained basically unchanged compared with the last price adjustment on March 27.

The NDRC raised retail gasoline prices 300 yuan a ton and diesel prices 290 yuan a ton on Feb 25. On March 27, it cut gasoline prices by 310 yuan a ton and diesel prices 300 yuan a ton.

According to the new pricing mechanism, domestic oil prices are adjusted every 10 working days instead of the previous 22 working days. The new mechanism abandoned a previous criterion requiring international prices to change more than 4 percent before a domestic adjustment is made.

"China's domestic oil prices have been linked to international oil price changes more closely through the new mechanism and have become more market-oriented," said Lin Boqiang, director of the Xiamen-based China Center for Energy Economic Research.

However, he said it's still too early to say whether the new mechanism is able to reflect the market's demand-supply situation.

"It will be a real test for the mechanism when international oil prices rise," he added.
