Expansion of the Oil Price Stabilization Fund (OPSF) and its Sources and Utilization

- The OPSF was created to reimburse oil companies for cost increases due to exchange rate adjustments and/or increases in world market prices of crude oil and imported petroleum products. (Section 1)
- The OPSF can be sourced from:
    a) Any increase in tax collection from ad valorem tax or customs duty on petroleum products due to exchange rate adjustments. (Section 1a)
    b) Any increase in tax collection from lifting tax exemptions of government corporations. (Section 1b)
    c) Any additional amount imposed on petroleum products through an order from the Board of Energy. (Section 1c)
    d) Any resulting peso cost differentials when actual peso costs paid by oil companies are less than the costs computed using the reference foreign exchange rate. (Section 1d)
- The OPSF shall be used for:
    1) Reimbursing oil companies for cost increases in crude oil and imported petroleum products due to exchange rate adjustments and/or increases in world market prices. (Section 1.1)
    2) Reimbursing oil companies for possible cost underrecovery incurred due to reduction of domestic prices of petroleum products. Cost underrecovery includes:
        i) Reduction in oil company take without corresponding reduction in landed cost of oil inventories. (Section 1.2.i)
        ii) Reduction in internal ad valorem taxes due to price reductions. (Section 1.2.ii)
        iii) Other factors determined by the Ministry of Finance resulting in cost underrecovery. (Section 1.2.iii)
- The OPSF shall be administered by the Ministry of Energy. (Section 1)
- The Minister of Finance shall promulgate necessary rules and regulations in consultation with the Ministry of Energy. (Section 2)
- This Executive Order shall be effective starting with the domestic products price reduction authorized on January 24, 1986. (Section 4)
