The Ministry of Industry, Commerce and MSMEs informs citizens this week that the government of President Luis Abinader has ratified its commitment to ensure the well-being of all Dominicans. This week, as planned and budgeted, extraordinary subsidies will be applied to prevent international price increases from being passed on to our consumers. This measure has the main objective of alleviating the economic impact on the population, sacrificing approximately RD$410 million.
The subsidies that will be applied are the following: 17.99 pesos per gallon for regular diesel, 12.38 pesos for premium diesel, 21.41 pesos for regular gasoline, while 15.23 pesos will be applied to premium gasoline and 13.61 pesos for LPG.
These subsidies are the result of monitoring prices on the international market. Given the fluctuations in crude oil and its derivatives, as well as other factors affecting supply and demand, we have taken immediate measures to protect our population from significant price increases.
For the week of August 17-23, 2024, the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and MSMEs orders that fuels be marketed at the following prices:
Premium gasoline will be sold at RD$290.10 per gallon, maintaining its price.
