The government will define this Wednesday the increase in fuel at the national level starting in April, but it is expected that the blow to the pocket will range between $7.50 and $15, depending on the fuel to be purchased.
As published by the newspaper The countrySuper 95 gasoline will rise to $82.42 per liter, an increase of 10.1% compared to the price of $74.88 it has today.
For its part, diesel will rise to $69.21 per liter, an increase of 28.8% compared to the current price of $53.99.
The government is studying the reports from the Regulatory Unit for Energy and Water Services (Ursea) and Ancap, and will define the final increases this Wednesday. It will be based on the Import Parity Price (PPI), a mechanism that has been used to raise the prices of these oil derivatives since the LUC came into force.
The PPI is a hypothetical exercise of what it would be like if free imports existed in Uruguay, not only being Ancap the only one, with competitors in a liberalized market.
