As of Wednesday, May 25, the international price of WTI averaged US$111.17, for a slight increase of 0.5% over the previous week’s average, which amounted to US$110.56, reflecting the WTI an accumulated increase of 43.0%.

“In the face of the complex panorama, the government of President Luis Abinader remains determined to protect the pockets of Dominicans, giving continuity to the subsidies of all fuels and assuming 100% of the increases,” explained Perez.

He emphasized that this action prevents Dominicans from paying increases ranging from 6.50 pesos per gallon in the case of LPG, 71 pesos per gallon in the case of Premium Gasoline, almost 80 pesos in the case of Regular Gasoline, and nearly 74 pesos per gallon in the case of Regular and Optimum Gasoil.

The freeze will cost you more later and with interest. The government does not have money of its own so postponing only transfer the payment later with interest. And if the government is refusing to collect taxes on that fuel, then society will not get what was promised to them! So it is not good news at all! Postponing is just playing games with obligations and time does not favor you!
