Star Oil的首席执行官说,加纳的燃料价格底线伤害了竞争,应该予以撤除。 Star Oil’s CEO says Ghana’s fuel price floors hurt competition and should be removed.

Star Oil CEO Philip Tieku批评加纳国家石油管理局对燃料施加价格底限, Star Oil CEO Philip Tieku criticized Ghana’s National Petroleum Authority for imposing price floors on fuel, calling the move a sign of weak governance and market distortion. 他在11月6日的演讲中指出,价格控制会破坏竞争,对Star Oil等有利可图的公司来说是不必要的,而Star Oil等公司在没有监管支持的情况下仍然能够生存。 Speaking on November 6, he argued that price controls undermine competition and are unnecessary for profitable companies like Star Oil, which remains viable without regulatory support. 虽然承认该政策可能暂时遏制非法燃料转用和逃税(在未征税燃料销售低于市场价格的情况下),但他坚持市场力量,而不是政府的干预,应该确定价格。 While acknowledging the policy may temporarily curb illegal fuel diversion and tax evasion—where untaxed fuel is sold below market rates—he insisted market forces, not government intervention, should set prices. 铁库敦促监管者注重改善公司治理和合规,而不是通过人为价格底线扭曲竞争。 Tieku urged regulators to focus on improving corporate governance and compliance instead of distorting competition through artificial price floors.
