Fuel prices are expected to rise again next week. According to provisional calculations, the price of gasoline is expected to increase by 10 cents. This new increase comes after a period of already high fuel prices.
The increase in fuel prices is having a direct impact on food products. With higher transportation and logistics costs, food is becoming more expensive for the final consumer. This relationship between fuel and food has been increasingly evident.
The situation is accelerating the pace of inflation. The cumulative increase in fuel prices and food products is putting pressure on families' purchasing power. Consumers are thus facing a scenario of growing expenditure on essential goods.
