Subsidy  on 95-Octane gasoline ends Saturday

The subsidy applied to 95 octane gasoline will expire on Saturday, April 22, confirmed the National Secretary of Energy, Jorge Rivera Staff, who said that the government analyzes how international prices are, as well as the capacity of the State and the situation of the economy to determine the validity of the program.

“On Saturday, April 22, the 95-octane fuel will no longer be under the solidarity subsidy program, the rest of the fuels, for example, 91-octane gasoline and diesel, will be maintained until May 31, as agreed,” said Staff.

He indicated that since the fuel subsidy policy was applied, a total of $400 million has been allocated.
