Businessmen in the service station sector, known as “stationary“, they once once more warned that due to the “Fair Prices” system established by the national government for the fuels it’s found ““the survival of the entire sector is seriously at risk.”
In recent weeks there have been some changes from the government, however, the sector claims that they are not enough. In their defense for the bad moment they are going through, from the CECHA Confederation of Hydrocarbon and Related Trade Entities, they pointed out that “beyond the reduction in the deadlines for the accreditation of credit cards, established by the BCRA at the request of the Secretary of Energy, Flavia Royón; and “the incentives given by YPF to its network, these measures are not sufficient to channel a market that is increasingly experiencing unsustainable operational stress.”.

“To this we must add the tightness of reserves in the BCRA to face the acquisition of the product by the oil companies; and the increase in prices in the wholesale fuel market, which strains demand in retail stations of all the flags,” they pointed out from the entity.
What do service stations ask for?
Among other things, they pointed out that this panorama is generating increasing instability at service stations, “which due to market distortions, and given the existence of disparate prices, produces a spillover effect of demand from some stations to others with different flags, leading to a stock shortage of these products.”
