The Ministry of Industry, Commerce and MSMEs (MICM) announced a new state investment of RD$1,087.9 million aimed at mitigating the impact of the rise in international hydrocarbon prices. This measure reaffirms the authorities’ commitment to the economic stability of Dominican households through the Anti-Crisis Plan.<\/p>\n\n
For the period from August 15 to 21, the Government has ordered a limited adjustment of RD$3.00 on gasoline and regular diesel. Despite this slight increase, prices remain below the levels recorded on June 13, when the 90-day price freeze program began. Meanwhile, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and natural gas will maintain their costs without variations.<\/p>\n\n
The Government maintains its commitment not to exceed the set prices as long as oil remains below US$95, thus ensuring the sustainability of the Anti-Crisis Plan implemented for the benefit of the population.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
Impact of the subsidy on the family economy<\/h2>\n\n
Volatility in international markets, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, has caused a significant increase in refining margins, reaching 26% for gasoline and up to 64% for diesel. Given this scenario, the weekly subsidy represents direct relief for citizens’ pockets, with contributions reaching RD$86.89 per gallon for regular diesel and RD$33.36 for regular gasoline.<\/p>\n\n
So far this year, the total amount allocated by the State to absorb these increases exceeds RD$26 billion, a figure that underscores the Government’s priority to contain inflation derived from energy costs.<\/p>\n\n
