Petronas Chemicals Bhd registered the highest net money inflow of RM9.47mil last week.

KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd’s (PetChem) net profit fell by 24.7% in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 due to lower revenue and higher operating expenditure.

It announced in a statement yesterday its net profit fell to RM802mil from RM1.065bil a year ago. Its revenue declined by 16.5% to RM4.13bil from RM4.95bil largely due to lower product prices and sales volumes, partially offset by the weakening of the ringgit against the US dollar.
