BiggerLPG rises RD$2 per gallon and other fuels maintain prices
The government made commitments to importers for RD$411 million this week.
The Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Mipymes (MICM) informed that the price of fuels would remain unchanged, except for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), which will increase RD$2 for the week of September 25 to October 1, 2021.
Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade, Ramon Perez Fermin, explained that the government assumed commitments with importers for RD$411 million this week to keep the price of most fuels unchanged and thus prevent LPG from going up RD$36, Regular Gasoline RD$11. 00; Regular Gasoil RD$16.04; Optimum Gasoil for RD$1.80, among other products whose value has also been conserved, assuming their increases and compensating for previous debts accumulated from periods in which the value of fuels did not vary.
