Brazil's Ministry of Finance announced an extension of its gasoline subsidy by 30 days, starting July 26th. This decision comes in response to rising international oil prices, exacerbated by escalating Middle East conflicts.

Previously, a diesel subsidy was reduced in late June as tensions eased, but this trend was short-lived, and the diesel subsidy remains in effect. AI
