Petrobras Board Member Warns About the Cost of Keeping Fuel Prices Low

A member of Petrobras’ board of directors, acting as a representative appointed by minority shareholders, stated that the state‑controlled producer has incurred billions of dollars in losses from selling fuel below market prices. The board member emphasized that these pricing policies have severely harmed the company’s profitability and threaten its long‑term financial sustainability. He also cautioned that the low‑price strategy could damage Petrobras’ reputation, potentially eroding confidence among consumers and investors.
