Petrobras announced, this Friday (8), a reduction in the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), which is used with cooking gas. The decrease in value was R$ 0.25 per kilo. According to the company, this was possible thanks to the exchange rate, which has reflected an appreciation of the real against the dollar.
“Following the evolution of international prices and the exchange rate, which have stabilized at a lower level for LPG, and consistent with its pricing policy, Petrobras will reduce its sales prices to distributors. As of 4/9, the average sale price of LPG from Petrobras to distributors will rise from R$4.48 to R$4.23 per kg, equivalent to R$54.94 per 13kg, reflecting an average reduction of R$ $3.27 per 13 kg,” the state-owned company said.
On the same note, Petrobras reiterated its commitment to the practice of competitive prices and in balance with the market, while avoiding the immediate pass-through to domestic prices of external volatilities and the exchange rate caused by conjunctural events.
