“There is no intention of the Government to modify rates. The decision has been taken at the time, and it has been an increase of one digit”, Martinez said in reference to the increases provided by the current management of 6% for gas and 9% for electricity.
For the official of the economic portfolio, the national government understands that “the evolution of rates always has to go below wages to allow workers to consume more goods and services and reactivate the economy.”
For this reason, Martínez, reaffirmed that “There is no intention to modify any rate scheme” in the energy sector.
The secretary also reiterated that “(tariff) segmentation is a great tool that is under development and that will begin to be implemented as of next year.”
According to what the Government allowed to transcend, a scheme is being worked on that would allow different parameters to be taken on the ability to pay users of the total cost of energy to implement differentiated reductions in subsidies.
In that sense, Martínez pointed out that segmentation “is the beginning of a process that is expected to last many years, it is a political decision to understand that the use of subsidies must always be as efficient as possible.”
