After the readjustments promoted this week in the prices of gasoline, diesel and cooking gas, Petrobras published this Saturday, 12, two videos on its website justifying the increases. According to the state-owned company, the last adjustment was necessary to maintain supply to all companies, mitigating risks of shortages. The company says it did not immediately pass on the recent rise in oil prices as it “does not transmit volatility and is aware of the importance of contributing to affordable fuel.”
In the publication, the company claims that its record profit in 2021 may seem high, but in fact it is not. According to the company, the profit is compatible with the size of the investments. The state-owned company closed last year with an unprecedented profit of R$ 106.7 billion. “You can imagine how much investment is needed to produce the fuel that reaches you. It is a billion dollar investment”, he says.
According to Petrobras, the annual rate of return used in the company’s operation in 2021 was 8%, leaving, according to the state-owned company, “only 2% above the cost of its debt, a fair return.”
The publication says that the company is one of the companies that invests the most in Brazil and that more than half of its cash is returned to society through taxes, government participation and dividends to the States.
In 2021, the state-owned company informs that it paid R$ 23 million in taxes and tributes per hour, and that it generated about 10 thousand jobs for every R$ 1 billion of investments in exploration and production. “We are investing more than BRL 70 billion a year, we are benefiting more than 4 million people with the purchase of cooking gas for vulnerable families.”
Finally, the company states that “there is no monopoly here and other companies, like Petrobras, also produce and import fuel”. According to the company, market prices ensure the operation and supply of the country. promoted by several companies.
