The government of Nicolás Maduro has made the decision to import 200 thousand barrels of premium diesel to satisfy the demand of its corporate clients at PDVSA, the Venezuelan state oil company. This measure aims to offer higher quality fuel at competitive, although not subsidized, prices.
In order to improve the supply of fuel, PDVSA has also proposed evaluating direct imports and authorizing third parties to bring high octane gasoline. This would benefit those consumers looking for a more efficient and better quality product.
Although the exact price of imported gasoline has not been specified, it is estimated that it will be around one dollar per liter. This measure seeks to balance import costs and guarantee a fair price for consumers.
In addition, the government has announced an increase in the price of diesel for the industrial sector, thus eliminating the subsidy that has been in place since 2020. Starting in mid-July 2023, the price of diesel will be $0.32 per liter. This decision seeks to guarantee a more realistic and appropriate price for the industrial sector, prioritizing those sectors that need it.
It is important to remember that in June 2020, a fuel distribution scheme was established in which a limited amount was subsidized (120 liters per month per person) and the rest of the population paid 0.50 cents per liter.
These decisions show the effort of the Venezuelan government to improve the quality and price of fuel, offering more competitive options adapted to the needs of the market. Through the import of premium diesel oil and the increase in the price of industrial diesel, greater efficiency and sustainability is sought in the country’s energy sector.
