If it were up to Konrat Mizzi, he would have entered into a 10-year fixed price agreement. That’s what he promised about gas before the elections.

Thank goodness for the fact that the market is more intelligent than Konrat Mizzi.

Mhux ovvja, Etil!

Don’t believe a word he says before you read the documents he tables in parliament.

Who told you they made a hedging agreement.

If it was done when was it done?

When will it end?

If the PN did not put pressure on the government about fuel prices , we would have been told that the second hedging agreement got us only another 2 cent decrease in petrol.

He’s also very good. Stimmt.

He said that in Malta’s case, hedging is usually made to cover a period of 2 to 3 months’ supply. He was presented to viewers as an ex-advisor to the government on hedging terms and practices.

Unless hedging has been bound by an agreement with a particular supplier at a fixed price for a much longer period of time (could be years), we should have benefitted from a cheaper price of fuel several weeks ago.

By the look of things, by the time hedging agreements end, the price of oil will be back up.

With a Labour government, one can never win.

I wouldn’t miss Times of Malta’s Tuesday columnist. But then again, I’m probably biased.

I would never miss a single article on your blog because the trust factor is high.

However when a newspaper’s views are one day skewed, another perhaps true, another lacking in depth, another missing the point completely, etc sifting through on a daily basis when the trust factor is already low becomes a chore. I’d rather come here first and generally read The Malta Independent second.

I wouldn’t miss the Thursday edition of The Times of Malta only because there is one columnist in which the trust factor is high.
