"Until conditions allow, the sale of fuels in Cuban pesos (CUP) and the sale of diesel fuel in dollars (USD) to the population are postponed," reported the CIMEX corporation on Friday evening amid the ongoing crisis in Cuba due to "acute shortages."
"Starting February 7, the Ticket platform will be implemented in the service centers designated for the sale of fuel in USD for B90 and B94 gasoline, with the aim of organizing the process and satisfying the largest number of customers. The limit for fuel purchase is up to 20 liters each time they register on the platform, and the customer will have 24 hours to use their turn once notified."
"As long as the conditions for fuel availability permit, the unrestricted commercialization will be gradually restored," added the official statement issued after the Round Table on the plan in response to the "acute fuel shortage" in Cuba.

Starting this Saturday, February 7, the sale of fuels in CUP will be suspended, and the sale of Diesel fuel in USD to the public will also cease. Only gasoline B90 and B94 will be sold in USD, with a limit of 20 liters per ticket.
Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment, announced the measure during the special Round Table on the package of decisions adopted in the context of the energy crisis and the official call for savings.
