The gas bottle will increase from 15 euros to 18 euros on January 1, 2025. The Department has chosen to end its participation to regulate its price. A decision which is not without consequences for the wallets of many Reunion Islanders.
Au 1is January, the price of the gas bottle will increase by 3 euros. Until then blocked at 15 euros, it will therefore increase to 18 euros.
In question, the decision of the Department to withdraw its participation in regulating the price of gas bottles in Reunion, wishing to “refocus on its social audience”.
An additional blow for the people of Reunion in an already inflationary context.
” Already there is inflation, already we pay a lot of bills, it's true that 3 euros more is still a lot “, estimates a consumer. ” Three euros here, three euros there, everything actually increases “, says another.
Watch the report from Réunion la 1ère:
The gas bottle will go back to 18 euros, a new blow for the people of Reunion.
” We do not necessarily have a salary increase equivalent to the increase in inflation, so put together our purchasing power necessarily only decreases “, deplores a consumer. According to INSEE, the consumer price index is starting to rise again. Manufactured products and energy are particularly affected.
There are budgets where you can cut down on compartments, but not everything. Gas no, you have to eat well.
Sacrificing certain expenses to ensure a balanced budget is increasingly complicated for many Reunionese people. ” We're already making a lot of effort on a lot of things “, confirms a mother.
“ We don't go out anymore “, another despairs. All that will remain is non-paying activities to keep her children occupied.
In Reunion, one citizen in three lives below the poverty line.
