"Pricing policy: Fuel prices are controlled and price ceilings are set by Ministry of Mines and Energy, subject to the ultimate authority of Superintendency of Industry and Commerce (Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio, SIC), which exercises control over price increases. Price setting is at the discretion of government. A fuel stabilization fund for gasoline and diesel was created at end-2008, the purpose of which was to eliminate fuel price subsidies. An initial deposit of about US$170 million was transferred to the fund at the time. Budgetary transfers for fuel subsidies in 2009 amounted to 4,906 billion pesos (US$2.3 billion). There are no rules governing withdrawals from the fund, as in Chile. By end-2011, the fund’s deficit had grown to 2.2 trillion pesos (US$1.2 billion). ). In Mar 2013, government agreed not to raise diesel prices after a transport strike.
Protests: In Mar 2013, thousands of truckers went on an indefinite strike to protest against rising fuel prices. The strike ended after three days after government agreed to reverse a price increase and not to increase the diesel price for three months.
Hedging: Although different from hedging petroleum product prices, Ecopetrol, the national oil company, hedges crude oil exports. Hedging cost Ecopetrol US$450 million in 2011, and incurred costs in six out of the past seven years, prompting a congressional hearing in 2012.
Information: Ministry of Mines and Energy posts detailed price information by location for gasoline and diesel every month, dating back to Jul 2003."
