Resolution MEF-RES-2026-1271 establishing a temporary fuel price stabilization mechanism in Panama

Resolution MEF-RES-2026-1271 establishes a temporary fuel price stabilization mechanism in Panama, setting maximum reference prices of B/. 0.88 per liter for 91-octane gasoline, B/. 1.00 for 95-octane gasoline, and B/. 0.90 for diesel. Initially valid until May 1, 2026, and subject to biweekly adjustments, the scheme includes a state subsidy that covers the gap with market prices, aiming to mitigate the impact of rising international fuel prices on transport, logistics, production, and the cost of living.
