Philippine Fuel Marker – Status Quo

Latest article as far as I know:

We know from previous articles that there are 4 bidders and using this article, we get ...

• 2 Bil PHP = US $40 Mil up front capital cost (labs etc) and
• 9 Centavos = US $0.02 per liter which was also mentioned in other articles

The up front capital cost and the low cost per liter seems to point to a marker only contract which would mean that even if SICPA/GFI wins the contract there would be no guarantee that Xenemetrix will benefit.
 
If you really think about it, buying a tamperproof marker while maintaining control over logistics / testing is the perfect solution. Honest government officials / bureaucrats now have even more control over who gets to play and who doesn’t.
 
A 1 in 4 chance to win the contract with the selection process to finish Jan/18 pointing to mid / late 2018 implementation leaves a best case scenario of EUO collecting royalties for 2 to 2 ½ years with a potential EUO royalty guesstimate down from $5 Mil to $2 Mil per year based on this back of this envelope calculation and the new info.

It’s probably safe to say that the program will be rolled out just as soon as the “interested parties” agree on how the pie will be divided up.
