In the midst of the debate over the Bases Law in Deputies, the Government of Javier Milei decided to postpone the increases in electricity, gas and fuel planned for the month of May with the aim of maintaining the slowdown in inflation.
Both ENRE and Enargas did not publish the tariff tables corresponding to the month of May, which were already stipulated in advance, after the strong increases applied during the first four months, which reached 200% in electricity and more than 300% in gas; water rose 209% and public transportation, 410%.
In turn, the Government must also approve the “seasonal programming” of the Wholesale Electricity Market Administration Company (Cammesa), which contains winter energy prices. This decision by the Government had already been taken with the increases in rates at the beginning of the year, to avoid a new jump in inflation.
Increase in gasoline: how much fuel will start to cost
In this way, during the fifth month of the year, the pumps will suffer a new increase, which will take the liter of super to around $61.82 above the current values and that of diesel to around $42.07, which would mean an increase of 12%. and 7.5% respectively.
Thus, next month the fourth and final update of the taxes that had been postponed since July 2021, in the government of former President Alberto Fernández, will be carried out, accumulating an average increase of 51.3% so far this year. .
The manager of the Confederation of Marketing and Hydrocarbons and Related Entities (CECHA), Guillermo Lego, told TN that it is still “early” to estimate the increase, since oil companies must analyze other variables.
