How important is the benefit?
The Gas Aid currently covers 100% of the value of the 13kg gas cylinder and in October it reached R$ 106. In other words, this amount is very important for low-income families, as it makes it possible to purchase this item that is essential for cooking.
It is worth noting that this value is the result of the national average for the cylinder, calculated by the ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels).
