According to the latest information, the Japanese government is expected to introduce a subsidy mechanism for kerosene imported from abroad. It is one of several measures intended to secure a stable fuel supply for the domestic market.
The subsidy for imported kerosene is seen as an important step amid volatile energy demand and shifting market conditions. The specific subsidy level and the date the policy would formally take effect have not yet been made clear.
The move comes as the Japanese government works to maintain stable energy supplies while cushioning the impact of changes in international fuel markets.
