In February, the company AySA raised a tariff update proposal, because it considered that the inflationary levels exceed the current numbers and suggested two instances of increases, one of 20 percent from March and another of 10 percent from 1 July, while the remaining 2 percent would be given at the end of the year.

Despite said presentation, the Government decided not to convene the hearing and rescinded the increases planned for March.

Now, on May 19, the formal instance will be held to define the new prices.

In said presentation, the company chaired by Malena Galmarini ensures that the fee income “does not cover all the costs derived from the provision of services.”

The last adjustments made in 2019 were 17 percent in January and another 27 percent in May.
