Massa announced at the end of a meeting with the directors of the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA) that in the last hours of the day he will carry out an evaluation on the progress of supply in the different regions of the country. At that meeting, the minister's collaborators anticipated, the continuity of the measures that ensure market supply will be discussed so that situations such as those of recent days with stock shortages at service stations are not repeated. The pricing policy that will be followed after the 45-day freeze established in mid-August will also be addressed. Sources from the Treasury Palace explained that far from the companies' intention to resume increases in figures greater than 20%, the idea of the economic team is that the increase is aligned with the Fair Prices scheme, which is around 5%. in negotiations with different sectors. In mid-August, the Secretariats of Energy and Domestic Trade validated with the oil companies in the week after the PASO an increase of 12.5% on average in fuels and the commitment not to move prices even as part of the measures of compensation for the 22% devaluation. At that time, the negotiation included a reduction in the domestic price of a barrel of oil to 56 dollars, the freezing of the exchange rate, the reduction of taxes on exports, greater availability of access to foreign currency and temporarily a differential exchange rate for settlement. .
