The Supervisory Agency for Investment in Energy and Mining (Osinergmin) published this Monday the report on international reference prices for oil-derived fuels with drops in gasohols, gasoline, diesel and industrial oils up to 7.58% per gallon, for the fifth consecutive week, reported the Peruvian Agency for Consumers and Users (Opecu).
Likewise, Opecu indicated that LPG, bottled and bulk, were reduced to 1.89% per kilo.
“International fuel reference prices fell sharply to 7.58% per gallon, thus gasohols and gasoline decreased between S/ 0.61 or 5.40% and S/ 1.16 or 7.58% per gallon, diesel down to S/ 0.64 or 4.92% per gallon, while import LPG at S/ 0.05 or 1.66% per kilo and export at S/ 0.05 or 1.89% per kilo”, affirmed the president of Opecu, Héctor Plate Cánepa.
He added that it is the fifth week of falls in reference prices whose complete and timely reductions must be shown in the commercialization at the national level.
The director added that downward variations in fuel prices must harmonize fair, equitable and timely from producers and importers to retail establishments.
“Thus, consumer relations or commercial transactions are suitable, as established by the Consumer Protection and Defense Code, otherwise it is an infraction and subject to the respective sanctioning administrative procedure.”, he stressed.
