President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that this Thursday she will sign a voluntary agreement with gas station businessmen to control fuel prices in Mexico. The initial duration of this agreement will be six months.
During her morning conference, Sheinbaum mentioned that she will meet with sector representatives at 11:00 AM to formalize this commitment. The Secretary of Energy, Luz Elena González, received recognition for her work in coordinating these efforts.
The agreement also contemplates that importing and distributing companies will adjust their strategies to benefit consumers while maintaining reasonable profit margins. Periodic evaluations will be conducted to ensure the effectiveness of the agreement and make necessary adjustments if required.
The government aims to set gasoline prices in an attempt to combat the illicit fuel market in the country. To this end, Pemex will establish a national wholesale price for regular gasoline at storage and distribution terminals.
The president emphasized the importance of cooperation and commitment from all actors involved in this agreement, highlighting that the goal is to strengthen transparency and stability in the fuel market for the benefit of the Mexican population.
Sheinbaum highlighted that the initial duration of the agreement is six months, with the possibility of review and evaluation to make necessary adjustments based on the results obtained.
