The loss is attributed to the declining trend in crude oil prices at the international oil market.

According to Idris, oil price dropped from $65.76 per barrel in May to $61.27 in June 2015.

The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, secretariat calculation showed that daily basket price of 12 crudes dropped to $40.47 per barrel on Tuesday, from $40.67 on Monday.
