Abinader announces fuel prices will remain unchanged through January 7

Santo Domingo.- President Luis Abinader announced that fuel prices in the Dominican Republic will remain unchanged through January 7, 2027, as long as government subsidies to contain increases do not exceed RD$1.5 billion per week.

The announcement came after an expanded meeting of the Price Committee at the National Palace, where officials assessed the impact of the international crisis on fuel prices and other consumer goods.

The measure aims to shield Dominican consumers from fluctuations in international oil and petroleum product prices by using government subsidies to prevent increases in the domestic market.

The decision comes amid continued pressure on global energy prices, with authorities monitoring their potential impact on fuel costs and the broader Dominican economy.
