The federal government decided to extend the subsidy on diesel to R$ 1.12 per liter until December 31, with the aim of stabilizing the price and supply of the fuel. This measure was established through a Provisional Measure (MP) and will come into force on June 1, when the first subsidy offered by the government will expire. The benefit will be directed to producers and authorized importers by the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), which will need to formally join the program and prove the passing of the value of the subsidy to the sale price of the fuel. In addition, companies will need to identify discounts in the invoices to receive subsidies. The ANP will be responsible for determining the amounts owed and making the payments to the beneficiaries, which must occur within 30 days of the submission of the requirements by the companies.
The measure aims to ensure the national supply of fuel due to the supply shock motivated by the conflict in the Middle East. The subsidy serves as a financial compensation to reduce the impact of the gap between internal prices and external oil quotations. Diesel is considered one of the most sensitive fuels for the Brazilian economy, as it has a direct impact on the cost of road transport, responsible for a large part of logistics in the country. Therefore, any increase tends to spread through the supply chain, affecting transport costs and final product prices, especially food items. It is worth noting that the government informed that, although the MP is effective until the end of the year, revisions to the measure may occur at any time.
The Provisional Measure was published in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) on Saturday, a day after the publication of the decrees that extended other subsidies offered by the government for diesel, biodiesel and aviation gasoline (QAV) until the end of July. The text should undergo analysis in the National Congress and, if not evaluated by parliamentarians within the 120-day deadline, it will lose its validity. It is fundamental that companies meet the requirements established to receive subsidies, as this will ensure that the benefit is used correctly and that the objective of stabilizing diesel prices and availability.
The extension of the diesel subsidy until the end of the year is an important measure for the Brazilian economy, as it may help control inflation and maintain the country’s competitiveness. In addition, the measure may have a positive impact on logistics and trade, as it may reduce transportation costs and make Brazilian products more competitive in the international market. However, it is essential to monitor the situation and make necessary adjustments to ensure that the measure is effective and that the objectives are met.
