Gas distribution back to normal

TV news channel Cadena de Noticias is reporting this morning that the propane gas shortage – as reported in yesterday’s DR1 news – is over, and that after several days of scarcity, distribution is now back to normal. Importers and wholesalers had held back supplies in protest over the government’s debt to the sector. The price of propane gas is being held at RD$25 a gallon, with the government subsidizing the difference from the actual market price, which currently stands at RD$30.
