MAHB: Hike charges to be put on hold                                         Outperform
News Update
¨       MAHB announced that it has been advised by the Ministry of Transport to delay the hike in charges until further review which was scheduled to commence on Sept 15.
¨       Given that the hike will now be put on hold, we believe there is a possibility of two scenarios: 1) Hike in charges will likely be structured into Marginal Cost Support (MARCS), a compensation mechanism which MAHB will be paid by the government of the difference between the actual amount charged and the revised level; or 2) Hikes to be completely called off.
