Within the scope of Provisional Measure No. 1,391 of September 11, 2026, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras (PETR4) approved, at a Board of Directors meeting held on September 18, 2026, its participation in the economic subsidy intended for producers and importers of diesel oil and its streams, with a unit value of R$ 1.00 per liter of road-use diesel oil “A” for a period of 30 days, which may be extended for an equal period.
The company reports that the new subsidy does not eliminate the right to receive economic subsidies already owed, nor does it revoke the participation in the subsidy authorized by Provisional Measure No. 1,363/2026, in the amount of R$ 1.12 per liter of diesel oil “A”, so that the benefits provided for in both programs are cumulative.
According to Petrobras, participation, which is optional, is considered compatible with the company’s interests, but the signing of the participation agreement depends on the publication and analysis of the regulation provided for in Provisional Measure No. 1,391/2026, which is necessary for the implementation of the economic subsidy.
The company states that it maintains its commercial strategy focused on market share, optimization of refining assets and the pursuit of profitability in a sustainable way, avoiding the immediate pass-through to domestic prices of short-term volatility in international quotations and the exchange rate.
