SANTO DOMINGO.- The government of the Dominican Republic increased the prices of almost all fuels this Friday between 90 cents and $ 2.20 RD.
The Department of Industry, Trade and Mipymes (MICM) reported that the increases were due to the rise in the price of crude oil in the United States, which was affected by the start of mass vaccinations against COVID-19.
“The average of a barrel of oil in the week ended was $ 1.40 over the previous week, equivalent to 3.06%, with its impact on distillate prices in the local market,” he explained.
