Gas prices
Over the past year there has been a generalized increase in inflation around the world. The reasons for this are, on the one hand, the structural characteristics of each particular market and, on the other, the effects of fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies.
The economic contraction and slow recovery in production indicate that the demand for gas as a source of energy to power industry and electricity generation has not put pressure on the market.
Gas is an input for industry and power generation; higher international gas prices may increase overall production costs and lead to higher inflation.
