ガソリン補助金、初の下げ 来月から月2円、原油高一服で―経産省

 経済産業省は21日、ガソリン価格を抑えるために石油元売り会社に支給する補助金の上限額を2023年1月から段階的に引き下げると決めた。上限額の引き下げは初めて。世界経済減速による需要減退や円安一服で、原油価格は下落傾向にあり、現在の1リットル当たり35円から毎月2円減額し、5月に25円まで引き下げる。(2022/12/21-18:26)

Japan to Lower Gasoline Subsidy Cap


Japan's industry ministry will lower the maximum amount of subsidies provided to oil wholesalers to curb gasoline prices for the first time in stages starting next month, officials said Wednesday.
   The ministry plans to lower the cap on gasoline subsidies by 2 yen every month from the current 35 yen per liter to bring it to 25 yen in May.
   It believes that retail gasoline prices are unlikely to rise considerably if crude oil prices stay at current levels.
   The upper limit of subsidies was set at 5 yen initially in January and rose to 25 yen in March and to 35 yen in April.
   Currently, subsidies are provided if the national average gasoline price tops 168 yen per liter. The government has been paying less than 25 yen per liter recently, and plans to pay 15.6 yen per liter starting Thursday.
