The Ministry of Industry, Commerce and SMEs (MICM) reported that the Dominican Government, through a subsidy of RD$1.657 billion, will keep the main fuels frozen for the week of May 9 to 15, as part of its plan to mitigate the impact of the current international crisis.
For that week, regular and premium gasoline, optimal and premium diesel, as well as LPG and natural gas, will remain unchanged. While avtur decreases by RD$17.42 and kerosene by RD$6.31.
This week the Government subsidizes consumers, for each gallon they buy, with RD$19.77 in the case of LPG, with RD$63.39 in premium gasoline, RD$76.39 in regular gasoline, RD$88.01 in regular gasoil and RD$96.59 in optimal gasoil, with the aim of not transferring international price increases to consumers.
With the subsidies that the Government allocates weekly to avoid transferring the total cost of fuel prices, the Dominican State protects the population from the effects of inflation, while maintaining responsible management of public finances.
