| Last Update: |
"Pricing policy: Ministry of Economy announces maximum LPG prices for four points in the supply chain every month. Legislation passed in May 2011 waived gasoline’s contribution to a stabilization fund (Fondo de Estabilización y Fomento Económico) in the second half of 2011 to lower prices.
Social protection: El Salvador provides cash transfer of US$9.10 a month to the poor and institutions catering to the poor for LPG. Beginning in Aug 2011, the recipients could choose to have subsidies deposited through their electricity bills.
Compensation: Public transport is subsidized in proportion to fuel prices, although fiscal problems have made it difficult to continue the subsidies and the administration of President Funes in 2012 was considering a proposal to cut subsidies by 40%.
Information: Ministry of Economy posts lowest prices in three parts of the country every week as saving tips for consumers."
