The Dominican Government reported this Friday that it maintains the prices of hydrocarbons unchanged, for which they have allocated, just this week, an extraordinary subsidy of 550 million pesos, as reported by the Deputy Minister of Internal Trade, Ramón Pérez Fermín.
He explained that the international price of WTI averaged US$96.00, for a new weekly decrease of 4.5% in relation to the average of the previous week.
The deputy minister recalled that the war in Ukraine already has more than 5 months of hostility, which has caused prices to increase to historical levels of 2008.
“Just as the issues have not changed, neither has the commitment of the government of President Luis Abinader to grant certainty, tranquility and support to those who need it most, announcing once again that it freezes fuel prices,” he said.
For the week from August 30 to August 5, 2022, the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and MiPymes provides that fuels be marketed at the following prices:
- Premium gasoline will be sold at RD$293.60 per gallon, maintaining its price.
