The government has removed the propane gas subsidy and propane is now selling for RD$75.95, a reduction from RD$87.13 the previous week. This comes after the government distributed or is in the process of facilitating an announced 800,000 Bonogas cards that provide RD$228 a month in credits for low-income families purchasing propane. The RD$228 will pay for three gallons of propane.
The program will also benefit 15,000 taxi drivers, who will receive a RD$5,700 credit for their gas purchases.
