Within this framework, the new increase was authorized this Wednesday, May 17. With this measure, the government attempts to keep prices stable without remaining nominally “anchored”, despite inflation rising to 8.4% per month in April.
The meeting was led by Energy Secretary Flavia Rouen along with executives from YPF, Axion Energy, Ryzen (Shell) and Puma Energy, refineries that focus more than 90% of fuel sales at service stations. Economy Minister Sergio Massa also joined in for a few minutes.

In a conference call with banks and investment funds during the presentation of quarterly results, YPF finance manager Alejandro Lue said that the delinquency at the end of April was about 10%.
Part of the “fair price” agreement for fuel was to keep taxes stable in July to avoid hikes that would put pressure on public prices.
