The Brazilian government published a Provisional Measure that opens an extraordinary credit of 6.6 billion reais, equivalent to 1.11 billion euros, to subsidize the production and import of petroleum-derived fuels.
Most of the resources, 5.6 billion reais (approximately 946 million euros), will be destined for economic subsidies for the production and import of road-use diesel, according to the measure published in the Official Gazette of the Union.
The remaining 998 million reais, approximately 16% of the total amount, will be allocated for other purposes related to fuels, although the information on the specific use of these funds is not complete in the article.
