                    [Summary] => JG Summit Petrochemical Corp. (JGSPC) is asking the Board of Investments (BOI) to extend JGSPC’s availment of the duty-free importation of capital equipment to 2007 even though the incentive is supposed to expire by 2006.


According to JGSPC, the machinery for its proposed naphtha cracker plant is scheduled to be delivered only by 2007 as completion of the project is still in 2008.


At the same time, JGSPC also informed the BOI that it has appointed Deutsche Bank to be its financial advisor for its financing of the naphtha cracker project.
