According to a report released this Tuesday on the prices of that sector, in June 2024 regional energy inflation reached a value of 0.06 percent and the annual rate 2.29 percent.
Of the 20 countries analyzed, 14 have experienced a drop in this indicator, and since October 2022, energy prices in Latin America are below those of the regional economy as a whole, Olade said.
The entity compared this data with that of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and warned that 24 countries in that group have also had a drop in energy prices.
Last May, the Secretary General of Olade, Andrés Rebolledo, referred to the evolution of costs during the last two years, where until mid-2022 there was a strong inflation that reached 18.41 percent, and then there was a sustained decline.
Olade is a public and intergovernmental cooperation, coordination and technical advisory body that seeks to promote the integration, conservation, rational use, commercialization and defense of the energy resources of this geographic area.
