Price setting is at the discretion of government. A fuel stabilization fund for gasoline and diesel was created at end-2008, the purpose of which was to eliminate fuel price subsidies. An initial deposit of about US$170 million was transferred to the fund at the time. Budgetary transfers for fuel subsidies in 2009 amounted to 4,906 billion pesos (US$2.3 billion). There are no rules governing withdrawals from the fund, as in Chile. By end-2011, the fund’s deficit had grown to 2.2 trillion pesos (US$1.2 billion). ).
