President Luis Abinader cited several aid measures that will benefit the most vulnerable families, but not all of them will be of immediate action.
Immediately, it will be adjusted the Bono Gas subsidy from RD$228 to RD$470 to all beneficiaries and 400,000 more will be added.
This amount will be enough so that the beneficiaries can afford up to approximately 25 pound half tank of gas. The last adjustment was made in 2008, he said.
Starting this week, he said, the Government will give 300,000 new cards from the Supérate program to vulnerable people selected by the Single System of Beneficiaries (Siuben).
The card supérate has a current amount of RD$1,650“which we have doubled and we have added 500,000 new Dominicans so far in management,” he said.
The expansion of the number of economic dining rooms will be done throughout this year 2022. It is contemplated to install 54 new State Economic Dining Roomsfor a total of 105 in the same number of municipalities throughout the national territory, which will increase to 136,000 daily cooked food rations over the next few months and reach the same number of people in a state of vulnerability.
