Plain-language explainer
Understand the reform
For decades, the State has paid part of the price of fuel, electricity, bread and water for every household — regardless of income. The new program adjusts prices gradually toward real costs, while protecting families that need help most.
What is changing
Consumer prices for several subsidized products will move closer to their real cost over several years.
Who is protected
Lower- and middle-income families receive a monthly cash transfer directly to their account.
Why now
Subsidies cost the State more than 17% of public spending and largely benefit wealthier households.
