Ramón Pérez Fermín, Vice-Minister of Internal Commerce, informed this Friday that the Dominican Government is once again allocating an extraordinary subsidy to fuels, which represents an economic sacrifice of approximately RD 239.3 million for this week. The objective of these subsidies is not to transfer the international price increases to consumers.
“During the week of May 18 to 24, 2024, subsidies will be maintained for the following fuels: regular diesel will be subsidized 18.05 pesos per gallon, optimum diesel: 8.61 pesos per gallon; as for regular gasoline, more than 13 pesos per gallon, and premium more than 9 pesos per gallon, while LPG will have a subsidy of 2 pesos per gallon,” expressed the vice minister during the announcement.
“This management continues to evaluate prices in the international market, since the variation in the price of crude oil and its derivatives requires proper observation in order to take concrete actions. Consequently, this week fuels will be marketed at the following prices,” he added.
