Review
The Independent Oil Price Review Committee expects to finish its review of allegations about oil firms’ pricing and profitability by July. Committee head Dr. Benjamin Diokno said they are about 70% done with their review.
“We will meet with the oil firms to discuss our preliminary results. We will also request the oil firms to submit their supply contracts to better understand how they price their products,” he said.
World oil prices have dropped partly as a result of revived talks between Iran and major powers about the latter’s alleged nuclear program. – Rappler.com
