The new policy on pricing by Petrobras is positive for the company and increases transparency for investors.For finance professor Marcos Melo, IBMEC-DF, the state hit by adopting a basic logic to follow the price of oil in the international market. Thus, investors now have a clearer perception of the company's future.

The price of diesel at the Petrobras refineries was reduced by 2.7% and the value of gasoline by 3.2% last Saturday (15). These reductions are part of the new pricing policy, announced on Friday (14) by the state.

"Just at the time that Petrobras is inneed of higher liquidity, increased cash, is precisely the moment she announces a fall in the price of its main product. This may seem even contradictory, but in fact this is good for the company because the investor is replaced by a clearer perception of the future of the company and is always linked to an international market situation, "Melo said in an interview the Portal Brazil .

For him, the price drop announced by the company - 3.2% in gasoline and 2.7% diesel - tends to impact positively on the economy. The price of fuel, he said, reflected in the price of various products and can contain inflation.

"We realize it is a good that all consume and, directly or indirectly, not just those who have vehicles and a fall in its price means it has a beneficial effect on the economy. Of course, it tends to cause inflation decrease or stop growing, and this affects all products, all goods and services that are traded on the economy, "he said.
