Compressed Natural Gas or GLP as it is known in Costa Rica, will increase ¢2 colones, from the current ¢347 to ¢349.
As reported by the Autoridad Reguladora de los Servicios Públicos (Aresep), the increase is due to the exchange rate and changes in the intermational market for the price of oil.
The new prices will be in effect within five days of publication in the La Gaceta Digital, the government’s official publication. The price at the pumps is expected to change before the end of next week.
