The Vice Minister of Internal Trade of the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and MSMEs (MICM), Ramón Pérez Fermín, reported that, during the week of December 28, 2024 to January 3, 2025, several fuels will lower their prices, while the Government of President Luis Abinader ordered this Friday a subsidy of RD$235.0 million for this week with the objective of keeping the prices of four widely used hydrocarbons unchanged.
In that order, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) will be subsidized for RD$19.71; Regular Diesel, for RD$11.56; Optimal Gasoil for RD$7.04, and Regular Gasoline for RD$0.53, with the purpose of avoiding transferring to Dominican families the impact of the behavior of the international market.

Premium Gasoline will be sold at RD$290.10 per gallon; maintains its price.
