The Panamanian government has taken decisive action to address the challenges posed by recent road closures in the Chiriquí province, which have significantly impacted fuel supplies. Through effective coordination between various state entities and sector companies, a substantial shipment of fuel, including 91-octane gasoline and diesel, has been successfully transported from Costa Rica to Chiriquí.
This temporary and strategic measure aims to alleviate the fuel shortages in the province, with a particular focus on supporting various productive activities, facilitating transportation, and enhancing the daily lives of the local population. The disruptions caused by the recent road closures have prompted the government to implement swift and effective solutions to ensure the well-being of Chiriquí’s residents.
As part of this initiative, the fuel will be made available at specific gas stations, the details of which are listed separately. Importantly, the pricing structure for this fuel falls under the Solidarity Fuel Program, with a fixed cost of $3.25 per gallon. This approach has been adopted to prevent any unwarranted speculation and price fluctuations that the population might otherwise experience due to the challenges posed by road closures.
The government emphasizes that these actions are in line with a broader strategy to mitigate the impact of recent events on fuel availability in the region. By ensuring a stable and affordable fuel supply, the government aims to support the economic activities of the province, maintain essential transportation services, and enhance the overall quality of life for the residents of Chiriquí. The temporary nature of this measure underscores the commitment to finding lasting solutions to the challenges faced by the province, reflecting a proactive approach to managing and overcoming disruptions in the region.
