Recently, the Legislative Assembly, at the initiative of President Nayib Bukele, approved until january 2024, the regulation that allows us to sanction the distribution and sale of petroleum products.

In addition, the parliamentarians also reformed 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.

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 LPG subsidy, by arbitrarily fluctuating the sale prices of their products or services.

The officials highlighted the importance of this initiative due to the fact that liquefied gas is one of the main products consumed at home.
