ARThe Government of the Dominican Republic adjusted fuel prices this Friday, while keeping the price of LPG (GLP) and natural gas unchanged. The Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Microenterprises (MICM) reported partial increases for gasoline and diesel, with premium gasoline and optimal diesel rising by RD$9 (USD 0.15) per gallon, and regular gasoline and regular diesel increasing by RD$5 (USD 0.08). This adjustment comes after the end of a 90-day freeze period under an anti-crisis plan announced on June 13. Despite the expiration of the freeze, authorities maintained subsidies for LPG and natural gas, which are essential for domestic and commercial use. The state has allocated over RD$33,807 million (USD 571.74 million) in subsidies for fuels during 2026, exceeding initial projections due to international market conditions.
