In 2013, the newly established Shanghai International Energy Trading Center heralds the upcoming of crude oil futures. China's oil market will be further opened up. With this backdrop, CBI will present the 15th China Oil Trading Conference (COTC), on April 9-10, 2014, in Guangzhou, China.
In 2013, China's diesel oil and fuel oil markets suffered a setback due to slowing GDP growth. The diesel-to-gasoline consumption ratio has declined to 1.78 to 1, hitting a new low in recent years. The bunker fuel market was also sluggish. Private oil companies were facing more challenges from policy side: the possibility of taxation on imported biodiesel and alkylation gasoline with continuous improvements in consumption tax policy and the upgrading of oil products' quality in a faster manner which challenges teapot refineries' financial and technical strength.
