Within the framework of the implementation of the Anti-Crisis Plan, designed to safeguard the purchasing power of Dominican families, the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and MSMEs (MICM) announced the formal activation of the price freeze mechanism for major fuels for a period of three months.
This strategic decision seeks to avoid further increases and protect general economic stability. In this sense, the mechanism guarantees that the prices of the most consumed hydrocarbons will remain unchanged for the next three months, provided that the international price of oil does not exceed US$95 per barrel.
To materialize the financial sustainability of this plan, the Government decided to freeze Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and implement a RD$6.00 adjustment to premium gasoline and optimal diesel, and a RD$3.00 adjustment to regular gasoline and regular diesel, respectively. By establishing this base during the first week, the State is allocating a fund of RD$555.7 million, directly assuming the increases from the international market so as not to transfer this cost to the population.
In parallel, the MICM announced a decrease of RD$4.12 for avtur, RD$5.10 for kerosene, RD$2.69 for fuel oil #6, RD$0.57 for fuel oil #1, and kept natural gas frozen.
For the week of June 13 to June 19, 2026, the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and MSMEs mandates that fuels be sold at the following prices:
Premium gasoline will be sold at RD$341.10 per gallon, up RD$6.00.
Regular Gasoline RD$310.50 per gallon up RD$3.00.
Regular Diesel RD$262.80 per gallon up RD$3.00.
