Faced with concerns about the increase in fuel prices, the President of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, assures that there are no plans for adjustments in the prices of gasoline and diesel in the short term, despite recent fluctuations in the international oil market.

At a time when rising oil prices and dollar fluctuations are putting pressure on fuel costs globally, Brazil receives a nrelevant news directly from the president of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates.

During an event in Brasilia, Prates addressed growing concerns regarding the cost of gasoline and diesel in the country, offering temporary relief to Brazilian consumers by ruling out any imminent increase in fuel prices.

President of Petrobras guarantees: no increase in fuel prices for now

According to information from the Brazilian Association of Fuel Importers, gasoline is currently being sold in Brazil at a price around 20% cheaper than the international parity, while diesel is approximately 10% below the world average.

Despite these differences, Jean Paul Prates reiterated that, for now, Petrobras does not see the need to adjust prices to the international market. This announcement comes in a context of economic and inflationary pressures, where any increase in fuels would have a direct and broad impact on transport costs and, consequently, on the final price of goods and services.

International oil price fluctuations

Petrobras' decision follows a pricing policy that seeks to balance the domestic market with global dynamics, without rigidly following international fluctuations in oil prices. The guarantee from the president of Petrobras that there will be no immediate increases in fuel prices brings a breather to Brazilians, especially at a time of post-pandemic economic recovery.

However, the situation remains under surveillance as external factors such as international conflicts and economic policies continue to influence energy markets. For now, the promise is of stability, but the global economic scenario continues to require constant attention and adaptations from Brazilian authorities and Petrobras.
