The Colombian government currently owes $93 million in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) subsidies to households in socio-economic strata 1 and 2. These subsidies are intended to help low-income families afford cooking gas. The debt impacts residents in five departments: Nariño, Putumayo, Cauca, Amazonas, and the archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina. The financial shortfall raises concerns about access to affordable energy for vulnerable populations. Officials have not yet released a statement regarding the cause of the debt or a timeline for repayment. This situation could potentially lead to increased financial strain on beneficiary families and possible disruptions in LPG supply. The delayed subsidies affect a significant number of households relying on LPG for cooking and heating.
