That is to say that people will be able to buy the 25 pound input at US$0.49 less with a final consumer price of US$10.42 and for those who have a subsidy granted by the Central Government it will be at a cost of US$2.38.

For those who prefer the 35-pound presentation, the consumer price will be US$14.51 and with the benefit they will find it in the nearest store at US$6.47.

Likewise, the price of the 20 pound gas cylinder for this month is US$8.41 and with subsidy US$0.37 and the 10 pound liquefied gas will be at US$4.34.

These decreases are due to the fact that the Legislative Assembly recently approved the reform of the Law Regulating the Deposit, Transportation and Distribution of Petroleum Products, so that the sale price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is not made arbitrarily.

In this initiative, the parliamentarians highlighted the importance of liquefied gas as one of the main products for household consumption and for small businessmen in the country.

This initiative seeks to update the regulatory framework after learning that, in practice, there are actors in the commercialization chain that put at risk the benefits for the salvadoran population, such as the subsidy to liquefied gas, by arbitrarily fluctuating the sale prices of their products or services.
