According to the Executive, by assuming 100% of the increases in the prices of fuels and liquefied cooking gas, the State of Nicaragua disburses between 4 and 6 million dollars weekly.
Nicaragua has a fund of 200 million dollars as part of a line of credit of up to 800 million dollars, arranged by the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) to finance a regional support program in the face of the global rise in prices of fuels.
The Nicaraguan authorities also ordered stability in the price of liquefied petroleum gas, used in Nicaragua for food preparation, whose cost has remained unchanged since the beginning of last April and varies depending on the size of the tank and the city where it is sold. .
