Petrobras corrects a previous statement and says new government tax measures effectively lower gasoline prices for its refinery distributors by 0.19 Real per liter (including taxes).

The government also announced a diesel subsidy of initially 1 Real per liter; Petrobras says it will finalize implementation only after the legal regulations are published. » Więcej na de.investing.com
