In a report by <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freemalaysiatoday.com\/category\/highlight\/2023\/10\/11\/raise-petrol-prices-to-reduce-fiscal-deficit-says-think-tank\/\" rel=\"noopener\" >FMT<\/a><\/em>, the Malaysian-based think tank says this approach is more effective compared to introducing <a href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/2023\/09\/29\/part-of-the-m40-group-may-inadvertently-be-cut-off-from-targeted-fuel-subsidy-says-kenanga-research\/\">targeted subsidies<\/a> and will allow the government to directly assist those in the lower-income groups. <\/p>\n<p>DARE managing director B Pankajkumar said by increasing petrol prices to align with the market price, the government can significantly reduce its petrol subsidy, which can instead be used to provide direct cash transfers to the bottom 50% of society. \u201cThe approach involves gradually increasing petrol prices every quarter by 20 sen per litre, or to reach RM1 above the market price within the next two years,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s your answer in terms of tackling your budget deficit. Imagine the amount of savings you can make by putting petrol price back to where it should be. To me, why bother going to a different system (of targeted subsidies for petrol). It\u2019s not proven, it takes a lot of effort, and there will be leakages,\u201d he continued, adding that a different system would likely require the government to spend more in terms of administration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/2017\/04\/12\/april-2017-week-three-fuel-pricing-all-up-by-eight-sen\/petrol-ron95-fuel-pump\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-644147\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2017\/04\/petrol-ron95-fuel-pump-630x420.jpg\" alt=\"Raising petrol prices more effective than targeted subsidies at reducing Malaysia\u2019s debt &#8211; think tank\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-644147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2017\/04\/petrol-ron95-fuel-pump-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2017\/04\/petrol-ron95-fuel-pump-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2017\/04\/petrol-ron95-fuel-pump-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2017\/04\/petrol-ron95-fuel-pump-850x567.jpg 850w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2017\/04\/petrol-ron95-fuel-pump-1260x840.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Following yesterday\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/2023\/10\/11\/ron97-petrol-price-october-2023-week-two-update-premium-fuel-price-still-unchanged-rm3-47-per-litre\/\">fuel price update<\/a>, RON 95 currently retails at its ceiling price of RM2.05 per litre, while the price of RON 97, which is floated according to market prices, is at RM3.47 per litre. Pankajkumar pointed out that Malaysia is listed as the country with the ninth lowest fuel price globally <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrime minister Anwar Ibrahim mentioned Malaysia is expected to spend RM81 billion for subsidies this year. Last year\u2019s figure was RM62 billion, of which RM45 billion was related to fuel subsidy,\u201d Pankajkumar said.<\/p>\n<p>Anwar will table <a href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/2023\/10\/11\/budget-2024-to-be-tabled-by-finance-minister-prime-minster-anwar-ibrahim-at-4pm-on-friday-october-13\/\">Malaysia&#8217;s Budget 2024 this Friday, October 13 at 4pm<\/a>, and it is expected that measures will be announced to reduce public debt by steering the economy away from decades of blanket subsidies. Do you agree with DARE&#8217;s stance on this matter? Is increasing fuel prices better than introducing targeted subsidies, or is there another way?<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/2023\/10\/12\/raising-petrol-prices-more-effective-than-targeted-subsidies-at-reducing-malaysias-debt-think-tank\/\">Raising petrol prices more effective than targeted subsidies at reducing Malaysia\u2019s debt &#8211; think tank<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/\">Paul Tan&#039;s Automotive News<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gradually increasing petrol prices is the answer to reducing Malaysia\u2019s fiscal deficit, according to Datametrics Research and Information Centre (DARE).
