Fuel prices in Panama continue to rise, according to the National Energy Secretariat. It is expected that the price of 95-octane gasoline will increase by two cents, reaching 93 cents per liter. A significant increase is expected this Friday, January 24, which brings costs closer to the equivalent in dollars per liter.
The recent rise in fuel prices has raised concerns among consumers and drivers in the country. The escalating costs directly impact citizens' pockets, who see constant increases in fuel expenses in recent weeks.
"It is complicated for many of us to cope with these constant increases in gasoline prices. It is becoming increasingly costly to keep the vehicle running," said a driver interviewed about the situation.
Authorities have not provided detailed information about the reasons behind these increases, which has created uncertainty among the population. However, it is expected that in the coming days, more clarity will be provided about the situation and the possible measures that will be taken in this regard.
