The Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade, Ramón Pérez Fermín, informed this Friday that the Government continues with its efforts through the extraordinary subsidy, to keep fuel prices stable, so that this week gasoline, diesel and LPG remain unchanged.

International fuel prices have maintained some volatility that directly impacts our market, with WTI rising to DR 84.15 and an accumulated rise of 18.7%, from June to today the Government has decided to maintain the extraordinary subsidies to impact as little as possible to the citizenry,” said the Vice Minister.
