Pathfind got in touch with the CPG to address the new PEC for hikers, who must pay the amount of R$ 1 to workers in the sector in order to help with transport costs. According to the logistics software company, this value is unfeasible and will not lessen the crisis left by the inflation of the last two years, which was accentuated with the rise of the Brent oil commodity.
Antonio Wrobleski, chairman of Pathfind's Board of Directors, says that logistics, transport and freight companies will end the year with a drop in revenue after suffering from the loss of 10% inflation in 2022, which was not passed on to the final consumer because of prices. of diesel, which doubled in just two years. According to an article published by CNN, in 2020, the average amount charged per liter on a national scale was BRL 3,63, however, in some cities such as Itajaí, Santa Catarina (SC), is already above R$7. This is the first time in history that diesel, widely used by truck drivers, has higher values than gasoline, which has already been above R$7 in at least 20 states.
As stated by path find, the current incentives developed by the federal government, such as ICMS reduction from 25% to 18%, are not being enough to reduce the crisis left by the pandemic. The initial proposal of the Bolsonaro government was to make taxation null and pass on a value from the federal cash to the governors. The president of the republic has already spoken out a few times about the current pricing policies charged by Petrobras, but stated that he cannot intervene because of the policies approved by Temer in 2016.
Payment of R$ 1 to truck drivers reduces the inflation suffered by the logistics and transport sector little or nothing
The payment of R$ 1 for walkers reduces the inflation suffered by the transport sector little or nothing, according to what the software company said. In addition, according to data shared by the National Petroleum and Biofuels Agency (ANP), the ICMS reduction did not exponentially reduce the price of diesel, which doubled in the last two years: the drop, in practice, was only R$ 0,05 . The hardship began in 2021, when the rise in diesel already represented a positive variation of almost 50% compared to 2020.
