In addition, as stipulated, the rise will take the values up to $157 in January, to then increase to $163 in February and close to $170 in March.
In the case of diesel, which is currently sold at $155.90 a liter, the staggered increases will take the price to $162 as of this Thursday, to then rise to $168.60 in January; $175.30 in February and $182 in March.
The schedule agreed with the companies YPF, Raizen (holder of the Shell brand), trafigura (from the Puma network) and Axion forecasts increases of 4% in December; 4% in January; 4% in February and 3.8% in March.
The increase is determined by the agreement that the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, signed with the oil companies, through which the latter joined the Fair Prices program, whose objective is to anchor the price index.
In that context, Massa thanked YPF, Raizen, Trafigura and Axion “Because being able to incorporate them into the Fair Prices program allows us to follow a path of tranquility for people.”
In addition, he said that by the agreement “the State undertakes to guarantee the access to foreign currency for companies, especially for the supply of lubricants, to temporarily reduce taxes on fuel imports in order to guarantee supply for the agricultural sectors, especially during the months of January and February, which are the most important”.
As this medium was able to know, Control of the increase agreed between the oil companies and the Government will not be exclusive to Matías Tombolini’s Secretary of Commerce. Massa explicitly requested the backing and support in the control tasks of the head of the union of service station workers, Carlos Acuña, the cegetista leader who was always a union ally of the Minister of Economy and a member of the union leg of the Renewal Front.
