The issue came up repeatedly in the 28-page brief on budget implementation of the first half (July-December) of this fiscal (2014-15FY) and economic progress review.
The statement said oil prices had gone down 43 percent in point-to-point comparison between December 2014 and 2013 and if continued, it would provide much subsidy relief.
