En febrero comenzará la reducción del precio de la gasolina en Colombia, ante ‘saneamiento del Fepc’

TL;DR

  • Gasoline prices in Colombia will start to decrease on February 1, 2026.
  • The reduction is possible because the debt in the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (FEPC) has been paid off.
  • This is the first government in recent history to lower fuel prices with clear fiscal accounts.
  • The FEPC deficit was previously used to mask low prices at the expense of growing debt.
  • A fiscal effort, favorable economic conditions, and structural adjustments in the fuel pricing system enable the price reduction.
  • The decrease will be ordered, gradual, and sustainable.
  • Gasoline and diesel prices had already increased on January 1, 2026, by an average of $90 per gallon for gasoline and $99 per gallon for ACPM.
  • After the January adjustment, the average price of gasoline in the 13 main cities was $16,057 per gallon, and ACPM was $10,984 per gallon.
