The recent announcement of a reduction in value-added tax (VAT) in China also strengthened confidence in the further growth of domestic consumption in China, which subsequently led to an increase in prices for petrochemical futures, including MEG, in China. Lunar New Year, which falls on February 5, 2019, is celebrated in most parts of Southeast and Northeast Asia.
