Public
split over petrol, diesel subsidies
TNS Lanka island-wide poll produces
food for thought for authorities
“Whilst oil prices have pulled back in recent
weeks, the world at large continues to pay very much more
for oil than it did a year ago – and there’s nothing to stop
it from shooting up again, given the extreme sensitivities
and market volatility this year,” a spokesperson for leading
business magazine told The Bottom Line yesterday.
She was referring to the results of the latest LMD-TNS Lanka
island-wide survey, which asked respondents who should take
responsibility for the high petrol and diesel prices.
