To protect the economy of Dominican households against the uncertainty caused by the escalation of the armed conflict in the Middle East, the Government announced that this week it will allocate a subsidy of RD$1.682 billion to keep the prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), gasoline, and diesel frozen. The Ministry of Industry, Commerce and SMEs (MICM) explained that the war tensions have generated strong instability in the cost of a barrel of oil to critical levels. Faced with this external threat, the State has decided to absorb this week the total impact of the international market to ensure that the global crisis does not reach the Dominican table, ensuring that cooking gas, public transport fares and the freight of food do not suffer any increase.
