Ramón Pérez Fermín, deputy minister of Domestic Trade, informed this Friday that the government of President Luis Abinader is maintaining efforts to prevent international factors from impacting the stability of the domestic fuel market.
Perez Fermin explained that the prices of the most demanded petroleum derivatives will remain unchanged for the week of January 13 to 19, 2024. “All this thanks to the extraordinary subsidy plan that is maintained in some of the petroleum derivatives. Such is the case of regular diesel, which is being subsidized about 20 pesos, likewise, almost 13 pesos to optimum diesel and 3, 49 to LPG”, he said.
“This measure is taken with the firm commitment to protect the family economy, in the face of the fluctuations of the international market and to alleviate the eventual consequences of said increase.”
