AYSA invoices begin to arrive with increases of up to 200%. Rate increases start at 20% and are in effect from August 1.
For the middle and lower sectors there will be removal of subsidies and new increases in the coming months....
....in the agreement with the IMF it was foreseen that there would be new increases as of September 1. But seven weeks before the elections on October 22, Minister Sergio Massa seems to have chosen to stop this rise, since he has not yet made it official despite the commitment assumed with the IMF. In this way, the electricity and gas rates would fall within the "freeze plan" that Massa has been applying to prevent inflation from escalating even more and this undermines his electoral chances. For August, economists expect a rise of around 11%, which would reach 12% this month. Instead, AYSA's increments go ahead without delay. In addition, in this case the increase was ordered without public hearings that allowed the voice of consumers to be heard. "In defense of the consumer we have gone back years in recent times," said González.
