16 Mac 2017: Pengenalan harga siling mingguan bagi minyak petrol dan diesel akan memberikan pengguna trend harga runcit yang lebih stabil berbanding harga siling bulanan yang dilaksanakan ketika ini.
Menteri Kewangan Kedua Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani berkata pengenalan mekanisme harga siling mingguan dapat mengelakkan perubahan ketara kepada harga runcit petrol dan diesel berbanding pengiraan secara bulanan kerana tempoh pengiraan bagi harga siling yang lebih pendek dan sebarang perubahan adalah lebih berperingkat.
"Kalau kita tunggu sebulan, kadang-kadang ia (harga petrol dan diesel) naik mendadak sehingga 25 sen.

"Kalau kita tunggu sebulan, kadang-kadang ia (harga petrol dan diesel) naik mendadak sehingga 25 sen.
"Bila kenaikan sehingga 25 sen, kita nak selaras (naikkan sehingga 25 sen) pun tak boleh dan kerajaan terpaksa serap sebahagian kenaikan sebagai subsidi," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas menyampaikan ceramah bertajuk "Cabaran Ekonomi Malaysia dan Pelaksanaan Dasar' yang dianjurkan MIDF Research di sini pada Khamis.
Katanya lagi, walaupun harga siling ditetapkan kerajaan, terpulang kepada mana-mana syarikat minyak untuk menjual petrol dan diesel di bawah harga berkenaan.

9 February 2017: The government is studying the option of setting a ceiling price for petrol in view of the escalating cost of fuel.
Bernama reported Second Finance Minister Johari Abdul Ghani as saying that in certain advanced countries, the governments would let oil prices float, and the oil and gas (O&G) industry companies would determine the price.
"It is up to the government to set a ceiling which is deemed fair for all. When the government has decided on the ceiling price, whether they (O&G industry players) want to sell the oil at lower prices for promotional purposes, we leave it to them.
"This is one of the options we are looking at," he told Bernama.
Johari made his comments to Bernama on the sidelines of the Chinese New Year Celebration 2017 hosted by the Malaysia Retail Chain Association here last night.
When he was asked if the government would resort to subsidising fuel again, he said it would not be sustainable and would not be good for the Malaysian economy.
"We are aware of the oil prices. We will monitor them. If they keep on increasing and if there is additional revenue, I think the government can consider a different form of assistance to the lower groups, but not those who are well-off,” he said, Bernama reported.
"However, as of now there isn’t a formula yet, but the government has already decided that it can’t reverse this (subsidy) policy," Johari said.
