Argentina to raise diesel, gasoline prices by 6%

摘要

Argentine diesel and gasoline pump prices are set to rise by around 6% in the next few days, the second hike this year, head of the Fuel Entities Federation Luis Malchiodi said Wednesday. "I don't think it will be 7% or 8%, but it will be similar to the increase in January," he said on Radio 10. In January, the government authorized a 6% rise in pump prices to help refiners and service stations after a 40% currency devaluation in December.
