Reason for the increase

According to G1, the increase in values ​​was approved at an extraordinary meeting Petrobras Board of Directors last Thursday (16). Petrobras said in a statement that due to the economic recovery and the war that has engulfed the territory of Ukraine, the global energy market is in a difficult situation.

At the meeting, government advisers asked the company to insure the new building. But the company’s board appealed the request after it emerged that the government team itself would not agree to provide subsidies to the state-owned company and private importers whose goal was to take the most expensive diesel fuel abroad and sell it at a lower price in Brazil. . . .

According to the information, the company disclosed: “He is sensitive to the moment that Brazil and the world are facing and understands the impact of fuel prices on the lives of citizens. However, when there is a structural change in the level of world prices, Petrobras needs to look for convergence with market prices.”

It’s worth noting that this week, to try to bring down the cost of fuel, Congress approved a bill capping the Goods and Services Tax (ICMS) rate on fuel, energy, natural gas, communications and public transportation. . The bill now requires presidential assent to enter into force.
