Last updated: 08 April 2026

The Venezuelan government introduced a direct fuel subsidy system administered through the Patria digital platform, allowing registered citizens to purchase a limited monthly quota of gasoline at subsidised prices. The programme provides 120 litres per month for private vehicles and 60 litres for motorcycles, while public transport receives a full subsidy. The policy aims to maintain affordable access to fuel while limiting smuggling and excessive consumption.
