Brokers' take
Plantations | Neutral
CIMB Research, Dec 22
MALAYSIA has extended the export tax exemption on crude palm oil (CPO) to end-February 2015 to boost CPO exports and reduce inventories. We are neutral on this move as the CPO export tax will likely stay at zero anyway given the current CPO price of RM2,119/tonne, which is below the reference rate of RM2,250 that will trigger the export tax. This also means that CPO will be tax-exempt for the sixth straight month, from Sept 14 to Feb 15.
