Central America: Fuel Prices up to July 16

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $4.12, Nicaragua $3.82, Honduras $3.44, El Salvador $3.29, Guatemala $3.22 and Panama $3.04.

Tuesday, July 16, 2019

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador:

The current increases in liquid fuels (gasoline and diesel) are influenced by the decrease in the extraction of oil and processing of derivatives. In the last two weeks the IEA reported a reduction in reserves of 10.58 million barrels of oil and a reduction of 3.03 million barrels of gasoline, generating uncertainty in the international market, reflected in rising prices.

Likewise, tropical storm Barry, which threatens to become a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, has caused the closure of approximately 15 oil platforms, stopping their production, as well as several refineries on the coasts of Louisiana, have stopped their operations, which could generate greater decreases in oil reserves and their derivatives.

Additionally, on July 2, 2019 OPEC and the non-member countries led by Russia decided to keep unchanged the cut in production of oil and oil products by 1.2 million barrels per day until March 2020, nine months after the agreement began in January of this year, in order to preserve the increase in international prices in the hydrocarbon market.

Central America: Fuel Prices up to July 30

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $4.12, Nicaragua $3.82, Honduras $3.44, El Salvador $3.29, Guatemala $3.22 and Panama $3.04.

Tuesday, July 30, 2019

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador statement:

The reference prices for gasoline and diesel show increases in this fortnight, because of the shortage presented by the United States in oil reserves by 10.8 million barrels according to the weekly report of the IEA. This generates uncertainty in investors and producers, since oil is raw material for the generation of liquid fuels (gasoline and diesel) through refining, is cause for caution. This reduction was driven by the cut in production of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the closure of oil towers, as well as refineries, caused by the hurricane and storm "Barry", which struck the Gulf of Mexico and the coasts of Louisiana.

In addition, the geopolitical tensions in recent weeks have increased their intensity between the United States and Iran in the Ormuz Strait, where 20% of the world's oil and petroleum products transit; and where European countries such as Great Britain, France and Germany have joined to ensure the free transit of cargo ships. However, Iran will not allow "anyone to commit irregularities", causing the international market to maintain an upward trend in its prices.

Fuel Prices up to August 13, 2019

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $4.38, Nicaragua $3.78, Honduras $3.53, El Salvador $3.21, Guatemala $3.24 and Panama $3.03.

Tuesday, August 13, 2019

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador statement:

The reference prices for gasoline and diesel present important declines for the current fortnight, although the United States for several weeks had reflected losses in its reserves, in the last weekly report provided by the IEA, it is reported that increased its oil products and derivatives. Oil increased by 2.4 million barrels after 7 weeks of losses. Likewise, gasoline increased 4.4 million barrels, after two weeks of losses, together with distillates, such as diesel, showed a 1.5-million-barrel increase. The changes in reserves allowed international prices of oil derivatives to show a downward trend.

Additionally, the resumed rounds of negotiations between the United States and China, to provide a solution to the commercial conflict between the two largest consumers of oil and petroleum products at world level, is kept in expectation, because the North American country threatened to put tariffs of US$300 billion on Chinese products that did not have taxes. If an agreement is not reached, they could generate a slowdown in the world economy, for fear of a lower demand for hydrocarbons, generating uncertainty among producers and investors before the possibility of a greater supply in the hydrocarbons market.

Central America: Fuel Prices up to August 27

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $4.44, Nicaragua $3.61, Honduras $3.44, El Salvador $3.12, Guatemala $3.09 and Panama $2.93.

Monday, August 26, 2019

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador statement:

The reference prices for gasoline and diesel add their second consecutive decline for the current fortnight, the reductions are because of increases in production and refining by U.S. companies. According to reports provided by the IEA during August, it was reported that gasoline reserves increased 3.3 million barrels, in the same way diesel increased 2.1 million barrels in the last three weeks, generating that international prices of oil derivatives showed a downward trend.

Also, the prolonged commercial conflict between the United States and China has increased the tension in the prices of raw materials such as oil and processed products such as gasoline and diesel. The Asian giant responded to the imposition of US$300 billion in tariffs announced by the U.S. president in early August by imposing tariffs on U.S. goods worth US$75 billion as a countermeasure to tariffs. Both measures would enter into force on September 1. In this sense, global uncertainty is growing, as this would generate a drop in demand for oil and its derivatives.

From January to July 2019, 673 million gallons of fuel were sold, 3% more than the 653 million gallons reported during the same period in 2018.

Thursday, September 5, 2019

The figures of the General Comptroller of the Republic report that during the first seven months of 2019 the consumption of gasoline in the country, which includes the 91 and 95 octane, totaled 195 million gallons, 2% more than in the same period of the previous year.

Central America: Fuel Prices up to September 9

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $3.98, Nicaragua $3.62, Honduras $3.39, El Salvador $3.06, Guatemala $3.04 and Panama $2.88.

Monday, September 9, 2019

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador:

The current reference prices present their third consecutive decline in gasoline prices and without any variation for low-sulfur diesel, this is because of the trade conflict between the United States and China, the largest consumers of oil and derivatives worldwide. On September 1, both nations-imposed tariffs on different products, the U.S. country for a value of US$300 billion, while China imposed tariffs of US$75 billion on different products, which highlights the 5% tax on oil and its derivatives. Because of these measures, international prices tended to fall, for fear of a fall in world demand.

Likewise, the report provided by the IEA for the first week of September reported reductions in gasoline reserves of 2.4 million barrels and diesel of 2.5 million barrels. This meant that the price of diesel remained stable in the hydrocarbon market; however, the economic conflict generated a greater impact for gasoline.

Central America: Fuel Prices up to October 8

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $3.86, Nicaragua $3.62, Honduras $3.45, El Salvador $3.11, Guatemala $3.14 and Panama $2.89.

Tuesday, October 8, 2019

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador statement:

The current reference prices present their second consecutive increase in the prices of gasoline and diesel. This rise is because of the caution that exists due to the resumption of negotiations between the United States and China, scheduled for October 11 and 12, which generates uncertainty between investors and producers, as it is an agreement between the largest producer and the largest consumer of oil and oil products worldwide.

Also, the IEA reported in its first report in October that both gasoline and diesel reserves showed reductions. Gasoline decreased 228 thousand barrels per week, while the reserves of heating distillates from which diesel is derived, were reduced 2.42 million barrels per week, thus allowing international prices to fluctuate upward in the hydrocarbons market.

Because of these geopolitical and productive events, the second consecutive increase in the reference prices of gasoline and diesel is experienced for the present fortnight at the national level.

Central America: Fuel Prices up to October 4

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $3.86, Nicaragua $3.53, Honduras $3.41, El Salvador $3.06, Guatemala $3.05 and Panama $2.83.

Monday, November 4, 2019

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador:

The current reference prices are low for gasoline and diesel nationally, this responds to the latest weekly report of oil reserves provided by the IEA, which reported a 5.07-million-barrel increase, well above the forecast of experts who predicted a superficial growth of just 500 thousand barrels per week. This generates continuity of raw material for petroleum products, even though gasoline reserves decreased 3.04 million barrels and diesel 1.03 million barrels per week.

Together, the stability of the pact reached called "Phase 1" in the commercial conflict between the largest exporter of oil and its derivatives (United States) and the largest importer (China), did not generate the expectations of an increase in world demand as expected by investors and producers, despite the fact that the negotiations continue on a good course and the overproduction of the United States floods the world panorama with supply, thus generating a downward trend in international prices of hydrocarbons.

Central America: Fuel Prices up to November 18

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $4, Nicaragua $3.56, Honduras $3.44, El Salvador $3.06, Guatemala $3.06 and Panama $2.86.

Monday, November 18, 2019

The current reference prices show their second consecutive decline in gasoline and diesel for the current fortnight, these decreases are the result of the increase in U.S. oil reserves. In the last report provided by the IEA, was announced a third consecutive increase worth 2.21 million barrels per week, likewise, gasoline reserves showed a 1.86 million barrels per week increase. Although the reserves of diesel and distillates showed a 2.48 million barrels per week decrease, no major impact was generated thanks to the timely oil reserve maintained by the U.S. country, ensuring raw material to generate future fuels.

In addition, OPEC is on the eve of its general meeting on December 5-6 in Vienna, Austria. At that meeting, the policy of cuts will have to be reviewed and confirmed, since for the moment the cut of 1.2 million barrels per day, which began in January 2019 and would continue until March 2020, is maintained. for the moment, the policy has not provided the results expected by the organization, which is reflected in the international prices of oil and its derivatives, generating uncertainty in the future.

Central America: Fuel Prices up to December 2

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $4.12, Nicaragua $3.52, Honduras $3.45, El Salvador $3.07, Guatemala $3.05 and Panama $2.86.

Monday, December 2, 2019

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador statement:

The current reference prices present combined variation for gasoline and diesel; this trend responds to the economic conflict between the largest producer of oil and derivatives (United States) and the largest consumer of the same (China) that has extended for 16 months. The United States has scheduled for next December 15, a 15% increase in tariffs on Chinese products for a value of US$160 billion dollars, generating uncertainty in the international hydrocarbons market. Therefore, if such an increase is imposed, the demand for oil derivatives could decrease, generating an oversupply.

Likewise, OPEC will meet on December 5 and 6 in Vienna, Austria, to establish the production policy for the remainder of 2020, since the current one is agreed until March, with a reduction of 1.2 million barrels per day, in order to increase the prices of oil and its derivatives, which also generates secrecy in international markets.
