Diesel fuel : 149 Gdes (formerly 149 Gdes + 30 Gdes)
Kerosene : 173 Gdes (formerly 148 Gdes + 25 Gdes)
Yves Romain Bastien, the Minister of Economy said that the government intends to adjust its prices with those of the Dominican Republic [who have not suffered increase this week] to end the purchase of fuel in Haiti by Dominican, when the price is most advantageous for them. But other factors will also be in causes
