Taiwan to Freeze Gas Prices

The Taiwan government is not ruling out freezing gasoline prices again in January, Minister of Economic Affairs Steve Chen said yesterday.

A price freeze already took effect in December as the margin of international oil price increase exceeded the threshold for a suspension of Taiwan's gasoline price-floating system.

The price-floating mechanism adopted by the state-run CPC Corp. uses Brent crude price and Dubai oil price as determinants for price changes. Both indices have fallen to the US$86.5-a-barrel level, some US$2 lower from that of November.

He added any change to gasoline prices must be made based on careful evaluation of how such change would affect the economy.
