“By freezing these prices, the Dominican government remains firm in its conviction to protect consumers, maintain stable prices and contribute to the reduction of inflation in our country,” he pointed out.
The Vice Minister of Internal Trade, Ramón Pérez Fermín, also reported that the government of President Luis Abinader will maintain the hydrocarbon subsidy again for the week of February 11 to 17 and recalled that since February 2022 efforts have been maintained to prevent the fuels rise in price.
“Despite all this complex international context, the government of President Luis Abinader in a responsible and transparent manner, always with the unwavering objective of siding with the population and especially the least favored, has launched a plan to contain the rises in fuels, the popularly known hydrocarbon freezing plan, which has lasted for almost a year, where our country, fuels for domestic use, have not increased in price”, said the vice minister.
Emphasizing that one year has passed without an increase in the prices of LPG, gasoline and Diesel, he maintained that despite the fact that some international reductions in crude oil and its derivative products could be perceived every week, the energy crisis in Europe has made that gasoline and diesel will reach historic price levels in 2022 and that they are still very high, which is why unsuspected levels of prices for these items remain.
