Since Petrobras Announced Change in Its Pricing Policy, the Amazon Refinery (Ream) Has Caused Debates About Its Impact on Consumers.
The refinery stated that it will maintain parity with the international oil market. In light of this scenario, Ream announced that the new pricing policy from Petrobras “does not interfere” with the pricing structure. Ream also stated that the parity model with the international market improves the reflection of production costs.
The change in the pricing policy of Petrobras aims to offer more competitive prices in the national market. The commercial strategy seeks to balance with international markets and provide the best alternatives to customers. The expectation is that this change will reduce price volatility and bring more stability.
Ream and Its Petrobras Pricing Policy
Despite the change in the pricing policy of Petrobras, Ream emphasized that there were no changes in its own. Ream stated that, just this year, it has reduced gasoline prices 12 times, with four reductions between April and May. The Amazon Refinery highlighted that it does not set the final fuel prices for distributors and gas stations.

Pricing Policy: Campaign Promise
The issue of fuel prices in Brazil is a controversial topic and has been discussed for years. Petrobras’s pricing policy was based on the premise of price fluctuations in accordance with international values. This practice has been criticized by those who believe that such variation causes a disproportionate increase in fuel prices.
