Financial storm: more expensive diesel to finance super-amortization

The debate is on how the executive can find the funds to support this provision. The amendment proposes an excise duty on diesel fuel, equal to 0.13 cents per liter, which would result in an increase at the pump of 0.16 cents per liter. A fund of at least 30 million would then be created, an amount estimated to cover super-amortization.

A possible increase in excise taxes on diesel, even if small, would be included in the longer-term project which was already being discussed a few weeks ago, with the will to gradually remove the state subsidies that diesel currently enjoys .
