Govt may wait until after Games to boost oil prices: Experts

The government may not consider a further boosting of refined oil prices and pricing deregulation until the end of the Olympics in spite of the recent global drop in oil prices.

Speaking to China Daily, experts and industry insiders said the government would not regard the fall in world oil prices as a "window opportunity" for action, following its oil price rise in June.

But they all agreed that China's leadership had achieved the consensus of putting the refined oil prices at the hand of the market.
