The
Public Services Regulatory Authority
(Aresep), has
given its approval for the new prices
of gasoline, diesel and LPG fuel
gas. According
to Aresep, which is the
public organization in charge of
setting the cost of public services,
the new
prices were
requested by
the Costa
Rica Oil Company (Recope). Recope,
the state-owned corporation in charge
of importing, distributing, and
selling fuels in Costa Rica, stated
that the new rates were authorized
based on expenses recorded in the
gasoline and liquefied gas markets
when the
products were acquired.
Gasoline prices increase somewhat per
liter. However, there will be a
reduction in the price of
diesel and LPG gas. Authorities report a rise in gasoline costs despite a decrease in the dollar-colones exchange rate from ₡546 per $1 on May 1, 2023, to ₡509 per $1 on May 1, 2024.
The
new prices will be as follows: The
new rates go into effect tonight
after being published in the
official government
newspaper La Gaceta. ---------------
