Prime Minister held “Decision Time” meeting at 11:00 am on November 11 at “11-11” center, which receives requests and complaints from the public. During the period of the year, total of over 25 thousand requests and complaints have been received, around 500 of which are addressed to Prime Minister.
Minister of Mining R.Jigjid and Chairman of Oil Authority G.Ulziiburen today joined PM at the meeting.
On average, 230-250 citizens daily contact to the center. Majority of them express their opinions about petroleum price increase. In other words, different price range applies to the city and other regions, which means high price in the countryside in contrast to low price in the city. The government must be responsible in order to erase such the disparity in petroleum price.
Major reason behind high petroleum price in far regions is because of transportation cost delivering petroleum, officials claim.
Accordingly, Prime Minister Ch.Saikhanbileg said at the meeting: “One of the major objectives for the government is to reduce a gap in the base petroleum price between the city and other provinces such as Khovd, Gobi-Altai, Khuvsgul, Dornod, Sukhbaatar and Umnugobi.
The government has been working on taking certain approaches to resolve the issues, added Prime Minister. Namely, the exclusive tax imposed on imported oil and oil products to our country was reset at the regular meeting of the government last week.
The government will carry out a flexible approach in order to prevent fluctuation of petroleum price, which has been relatively stable for last three years.
If accomplished, it is safe to assume that prices in other common goods are going to drop, cited Prime Minister.
Moreover, Prime Minister assigned Ministry of Mining and Oil Authority to cooperate on creating oil reserves in connection with the low price of petroleum at international markets. It is crucial to reduce the disparity among petroleum prices within this year, said Prime Minister.
