Central America: Fuel Prices up to December 16

Price of a gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $ 4.07, Nicaragua $ 3.52, Honduras $ 3.45, El Salvador $ 3.04, Guatemala $ 3.02 and Panama, $ 2.83.

Monday, December 16, 2019

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador:

The current reference prices present their second combined variation for gasoline and diesel; this trend is the result of the increase in gasoline and distillate reserves. The IEA reported, in the last two weeks, an 8.79-million-barrel increase for gasoline. Likewise, the distillates from which diesel is derived reported a 7.18-million-barrel increase, generating a mixed fluctuation in the international prices of hydrocarbons.

Additionally, OPEC met last December 5 and 6 in Vienna, Austria, where they established an additional cut of 500,000 barrels to the 1.2 million that were in force since the beginning of 2019, thus reaching a total reduction of 1.7 million barrels per day and will be re-evaluated until March 2020. This generated that the prices in the international market presented mixed tendencies throughout the week following that meeting.

Central America: Fuel Prices at the Beginning of 2020

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $4.11, Nicaragua $3.57, Honduras $3.46, Guatemala $3.09, El Salvador $3.07 and Panama, $2.85

Monday, January 6, 2020

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador's statement:

The current reference prices show increases in all their presentations, because of the announcement given by the United States and China, about the signing of phase 1 of the economic conflict in January 2020. After 17 months of negotiations, this agreement establishes the reduction of tariffs on raw materials and products between both countries, where oil and its derivatives are benefited; therefore, the expectations of demand for all fuels at the international level increased, increasing international prices.

In addition, the IEA reported that oil reserves in the last two weeks decreased by 6.56 million barrels, which impacted international prices, also, the existence of gasoline only increased 1.96 million barrels in the last week and diesel presented a fall of 152 thousand barrels per week, so prices rose until the end of the week of December 27.

Central America: Fuel Prices up to January 14

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $4.07, Nicaragua $3.52, Honduras $3.45, El Salvador $3.04, Guatemala $3.02 and Panama $2.83

Monday, January 13, 2020

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador's statement:

The current reference prices for gasoline and diesel present generalized increases, due to the recent geopolitical conflicts between the United States and Iran during the first weeks of January 2020, which is why the international prices of oil and derivatives increased by an average of 4%.

This situation also generated uncertainty among investors and producers due to the latent threat to world supplies, since the Arab country could block the sea route of the Strait of Hormuz, which serves as an outlet for oil ships in the open sea and allows the region's oil to be brought to markets in Asia, Europe and North America, stopping approximately 30% of world production.

Monday, January 27, 2020

From a statement by the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador:

The current reference prices for gasoline and diesel, show low prices at national level, due to the outcome of the conflict between the United States and Iran, where the Arab country attacked two military bases located in Iraqi territory. After that, the probability of a war between both nations was dissipated before the response of the North American country, which decided to implement economic sanctions to the oil, steel production, iron and copper of the Iranian country.

Likewise, the IEA reported that during the last two weeks, gasoline reserves presented a substantial increase of 8.42 million barrels. Similarly, diesel reserves reported a growth of 6.99 million barrels in the same period, allowing tranquility in the market to a short-term forecast.

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $4.08, Nicaragua $3.52, Honduras $3.51, El Salvador $2.96, Guatemala $2.96 and Panama $2.81.

Monday, February 10, 2020

From a statement by the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador:

The current reference prices for gasoline and diesel show a marked decline at the national level, which reflects the emergency experienced by China because of the coronavirus. The Asian country is the largest buyer of oil and derivatives in the world, and has currently cut its imports by 3 million barrels per day, approximately 17% to 20% below the usual level for this time of year, where they import a total of between 12 and 14 million barrels per day. This sharp drop is the result of the paralysis of cities, transport and industry due to the virus, which generates an overabundance in the world's supply of oil and derivatives.

Also, the IEA reported in its weekly report slight falls in gasoline and diesel reserves. In the last week, gasoline decreased by 91 thousand barrels, while diesel decreased by 1.5 million barrels. However, international prices did not tend to rise, because of the global overabundance generated by the coronavirus health emergency. Additionally, it was reported that oil reserves increased by 3.3 million barrels, which provides stability to the derivatives market ensuring raw material for the generation of the same.

Central America: Fuel Prices up to February 25

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $4.10, Nicaragua $3.51, Honduras $3.39, El Salvador $2.95, Guatemala $2.92 and Panama $2.81.

Monday, February 24, 2020

From the report of the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador:

The current reference prices for gasoline and diesel show a mixed trend (ups and downs), these variations are due to the continuous fall in the reserves of these products, according to reports provided by the IEA in February 2020. The reserves for gasoline have reduced 2.16 million barrels, likewise for diesel, its reserves have decreased 4.16 million barrels, along with a lack of oil production, which in its last week barely paid to its reserves 414 thousand barrels, causing international prices to fluctuate.

In addition, the internal conflict in Libya in the Middle East has collapsed its production by an estimated 85%, since from producing 1.3 million barrels per day, it has reduced to 190 thousand barrels per day, a little more than 1 million that are not being injected into the world supply, because of the blockade of oil fields and terminals. Also adding to world events, an attack on a dock (an artificially protected part of the currents, so that ships can anchor or load and unload comfortably) in Tripoli, the capital of the Arab country, caused great damage and forced the evacuation of oil tankers that were docked there. The above event has generated uncertainty in the international markets and prices of hydrocarbons.

Central America: Fuel Prices up to March 10

Price per gallon of regular gasoline: Costa Rica $3.82, Nicaragua $3.61, Honduras $3.39, Guatemala $2.99, El Salvador $2.98 and Panama $2.81.

Monday, March 9, 2020

From the Ministry of Economy of El Salvador report:

The current reference prices for gasoline and diesel maintain a mixed trend (ups and downs), these variations are because of the continuous fall in the reserves of these products. The first report for March provided by the IEA, revealed that gasoline reserves decreased by 4.34 million barrels per week, in the same way, diesel decreased by 4 million barrels. Despite the decline in these products, prices have not increased exponentially, as crude oil reserves continue to rise, providing stability of raw material for refining.

Likewise, OPEC announced on March 6 that no agreement was reached between member countries led by Saudi Arabia and non-members led by Russia, on implementing a new cut of 1.5 million barrels per day, which was sought to be established until June 2020, where the countries belonging to the organization would be responsible for reducing 1 million barrels per day and the remaining would be done by non-members. The above, generated that international prices in the first week of March were fluctuating, because expectations among investors and producers remained cautious, since that agreement sought to generate increase in world prices of oil and its derivatives.
