In short, a strategy to balance loads. But, according to those who are in the business of selling gasoline and diesel, which is sustainable depends on at least 3 variable factors: exchange rate, the international price of oil and taxes.

For Rodríguez, from Amena, the drop in the fuel price comes with a sales rebound, but warned of frozen taxes
Price drop with slight sales improvement
For Rodríguez, the decision to apply a price reduction in the suppliers arrives in a market that tries to recover from a bad year.
The president of Amena reported that “after 15 months in a row of low sales of different significance only in marzo There was a slight 0.89% rebound“.
In a prospective look, he said that “it remains to know if this is a Green outbreak The definitely Trending brand“.
Dollar and barrel, those who “move the needle” in suppliers
Without illustrating us with a habituality, that is, the good news of paying less for fuel is repeated, how sustainable the decision can be in time?
“Difficult to ensure, because it depends on factors that are not typical of the Argentine economy, in a complex geopolitical context for the world,” Rodríguez analyzed, on the decrease in the price of Brent oil, the Argentine reference.
Is that the Barril dropped from US $ 74 to $ S63 In almost a month, in the midst of the commercial war unleashed by the United States for the rise of tariffs to its main competitors/partners. As it did not take long to shake the world oil business.
It does depend on the economic policy of the government of Javier Milei what are the “bands” in which the exchange rate without stocks moves. An exchange rate that, for the moment, remains closer to the lower band of $ 1100 per dollar.
Internal taxes, with a delay of 14%
A concatenated decision with another. It is that in addition to the exchange rate and the international price of the Brent oil barrel, one of them does depend on a government not willing to “burn the books” in its anti-inflationary strategy.
Therefore, entrepreneurs assume that successive extensions (in the last 8 months) of the TRANSFER OF THE INTERNAL TAX TO FUELS From 2024 they can be a risk factor in the long run.
The analysis points to “a delay that is around 14% both in the liquid tax and the carbon dioxide, which With the drop in the price it has become bigger still”.
Therefore, there are few who warn that at some point the government must defrost them. And that can impact the price of gasoline and other fuels.
