“It is true that the reference prices continue to fall, but not in proportion to the previous rises where the market traded at levels not seen in the last 10 years. In the case of this week, at the close of operations the WTI registered between US$71.02 as the minimum value, and US$77.28 as the highest value”, explained the vice minister.
He recalled that the price freeze plan, which to date amounts to almost 35,000 million pesos, is an unprecedented figure for such purposes and considered it an unequivocal sign of an effort never seen before to ensure economic stability.
The weekly average exchange rate is RD$55.26 from the daily publications of the Central Bank.
