why they multiply
YPF explained that last month there was very high demand for fuels, especially diesel, when it reached “the month with the highest demand in history”, and stressed that it was the company that “made the most effort to guarantee the offer, including 75% of the additional quantity required in April compared to March ’22.”
The new increase in bombs, third so far this yearoccurs amid rising international oil prices, which increases the cost of imported gasoline and premium diesel, among others.
In addition, in our country there is a greater demand for fuel compared to the past two years, when restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic restricted the movement of people, something that caused a cost gap due to the impact of inflation. .
This week, the National Index of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC) will release the inflation figure for April, which according to estimates by private analysts is again around 6%. In March, the Consumer Price Index registered an increase of 6.7%.
“After this adjustment we will continue to monitor the evolution of variables that affect price formation.the conduct of competition, always taking into account the particularities of the country’s macroeconomic context and the international reality, ”the YPF concluded in its statement.
