Osinergmin publishes every Monday the reference price of fuels at the plant based on the average of the last two weeks. New prices should be reflected in the coming days in the faucets throughout the country, including those of Petroperú and Repsol, when their inventories end at each station.

Meanwhile, the world is torn between economic sanctions for Russia after its invasion of Ukraine, and an international oil barrel price of around 100 dollars, both in WTI, from the United States, and Brent, from the United Kingdom. Its effects should still be seen in Peru from next week.
