Higher fuel costs to come
Just
approved new increase
Although it was an
increase was just approved, get ready for another two
increases in the price of fuel in the coming weeks.
With the new approved
rise Thursday by the Regulating Authority of the
Services Public (Aresep), the super gasoline will go
from ’228,60 to ’235,50; regular from ’218,90 to ’225,40
and diesel from ’159,60 to ’164,90. The new prices
will be in effect next week, when they are published in
the official newspaper La Gaceta.
These increases - called
"extraordinary" - is due to the increase that
has been experiencing the international price of
petroleum and its derivatives by the crises in Iraq and
Venezuela.
However, the price of
hydrocarbons will rise again February 1, when the
automatic adjustment is applied to the tax on fuels. The
tax is automatically adjusted every three months based
on the inflation rate. During the last trimester that
indicator has gone up to around the 2.5 percent.
