In 2023, the subsidies were equivalent to 1.5% of the Product and the Universal Child Allowance, to 0.4%. The Government wants to restrict the conditions to access the state subsidy and will cross multiple income and assets databases.
The idea of Javier Milei's team is to establish single rates that reflect the costs of supplying the electrical energy and natural gas system through networks, and grant a direct transfer or discounts to users identified as vulnerable. "The demand subsidy scheme makes it possible to rationalize consumption, with significant savings for the country, and focus transfers on those who need it most," said Martín Vauthier.
