Monday, March 23, 2020

From the Ministry of Economy report of El Salvador:

The current reference prices present significant declines for gasoline and diesel, these declines respond directly to the events of the break of the pact between OPEC, led by Saudi Arabia, and the countries that had made an alliance with the organization, represented by Russia.

Last March 6, during the meeting, no agreement was reached to stabilize the prices of oil and derivatives, through a new reduction in production. Russia refused to accept the plan and its Energy Minister, Alexander Novak, notified that they would enter into a serious battle to gain market share when he mentioned that the countries could produce as much as they wanted and as a result, all the obligations of the parties within the agreement, which limited the production of oil and derivatives, were cancelled.
