The Vice Minister of Internal Commerce, Ramón Pérez Fermín, reported this Friday that the Dominican government maintains the fuel subsidy.
It is more than 546 million pesos to avoid increases during the week from Saturday 5 to Friday 11 November of this year.
Pérez Fermín explained the outlook for hydrocarbons and their impact on fuel prices in the Dominican Republic. He detailed that the international price of WTI averaged 88.38 dollars, an increase of 3% compared to the average of the previous week, accumulating a year-on-year increase of 21.9%.
“We are seeing a worrying trend in gasoline inventories, at their lowest point in just over 10 years. All this logically has a negative impact on our country, which forces us to find a way so that the global scenario does not affect the pockets of all Dominicans,” said the vice minister.
