KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 25 (Bernama) — PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG) delivered strong quarterly revenue and profits for 2Q 2021. Its performance was boosted by significant jump in petrochemical product prices fuelled by rising crude oil prices and strong rebound in global demand.
The Group’s Profit After Tax (PAT) of RM1.9 billion is largely contributed by improvement in product margins despite operating in a very challenging environment arising from COVID-19 resurgence and supply chain disruptions. On a cumulative basis, PAT increased to RM3.3 billion in 1H 2021 against RM678 million in the same period last year.
