No CNG price hike, ministry insistsByAye Nyein Win |Monday, 02 June 20143The Ministry of Energy says there will be no price rise for compressed natural gas (CNG) for at least three months, appearing to contradict state media claims that a price rise in imminent.A worker fills up the tank on a CNG vehicle.

Unlike petrol and diesel, CNG prices are set by the MOGE.In June 2013 the ministry denied there would be a price increase, however in August 2013 it posted a notice on its website confirming that a price rise was being discussed, though no increase materialised.“I had heard the CNG price will change at the end of this month, and Im worried about it,” said one taxi driver in Yangon.Currently the price of CNP is K273.25 per pound, making it significantly cheaper than other fuels such as petrol or diesel.Myanmar has been a leading natural gas producer, but the government has previously said that the reserves are decreasing.The ministry said they are still collecting the data about a possible price decrease. But I think they spread rumours among the people and if the people dont complain, they will change the price. But most people cant accept this. So the ministry waits,” said taxi driver Ko Aung Tin Htut.According to the Mirrors report some people had petitioned the Ministry of Energy with a letter recommending the CNG price rise in line with petrol and diesel.“I had heard CNG prices will double. At present, there are many taxis on the road. So we will have little chance to exist, given our family household expenses,” said taxi driver Ko Wai Linn.無壓縮天然氣價格上漲，部堅持由埃贏抓捕到|星期一，2014年6月2日3能源部表示，不會再有價格上漲壓縮天然氣（CNG）為至少三個月，出現矛盾國有媒體稱，價格上漲迫在眉睫。一名工人填補了對CNG汽車的油箱。圖文：工作人員出租車司機特別聲音在他們的反對的增加，這將既轉嫁到乘客和擠壓利潤空間。這樣一動不能迅速發生，所述U HLA贏台基，能源部根據一般的緬甸石油和天然氣企業的CNG部門（MOGE）的經理。“我們可以改變價格，如果國會證實，但我不能說提前將改變，”他說。“但我可以說，天然氣價格將在三個月內改變。”在政府報紙上鏡提示同比增長從6月24日正在考慮類似的以市場為基礎的價格上漲的汽油和柴油行的報告後，新一輪物價上漲的擔憂來了。不像汽油和柴油，壓縮天然氣價格是由MOGE設置。2013年6月該部否認會有提價，不過在2013年8月該公司公佈的公告在其網站上確認的價格上漲正在討論，雖然沒有增加物化。“我聽說過的CNG價格將改變在本月底結束，我很擔心它，說：”在仰光一部的士司機。目前CNP的價格每磅為K273.25，使得它比其他燃料，如汽油或柴油也顯著便宜。緬甸一直是領先的天然氣生產國，但政府此前曾表示，儲備正在減少。該部說，他們仍在收集關於可能的價格下跌中的數據。但我認為他們散佈在人民群眾中的謠言，如果人民不抱
