Petronas' slumping profits


PETALING JAYA: In tandem with the steep decline in oil prices, Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) is expected to report less than RM10bil in pre-tax profit for its soon-to-be released fourth-quarter results for the financial year 2014 (FY14), say industry sources.

The price of Brent crude has more than halved from the high of US$115 recorded in mid-June last year to about US$55 a barrel currently, with the slide largely happening in the final three months of the year.
