SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts stops publishing ARPEL consumer price postings

Platts confirms that effective January 2, 2015, it has stopped publishing consumer price postings in Latin America as gathered by the Asociacion Regional de Empresas del Sector Petroleo (ARPEL).

The discontinuation reflects diminished appetite for the data from Platts subscribers, and follows a proposal published on October 31, 2014 and a decision published on December 2, 2014 to stop publishing the data.

The ARPEL postings had been published in full each day on Platts Global Alert page 474, with a smaller selection published daily in Platts Latin American Wire.

All of the postings are also in the Platts price database under data codes beginning ARP.
