"One thing has nothing to do with the other": Horacio Marín disassociated the YPF ruling from the increase in fuel prices.

YPF President and CEO Horacio Marín analyzed New York Judge Loretta Preska 's recent ruling on the 2012 YPF expropriation trial and asserted that the decision will not have a direct impact on the oil company. At the same time, he expressed pride in the Argentine energy company's latest projects and explained the recent gas shortage.

During an interview with Marin on Friday on A24, the businessman stated: " The judge ruled in favor of YPF and against the Argentine Republic ." Similarly, the businessman stated that the lawsuit filed by Burford Capital will not affect the energy company's productivity or the projects it is preparing for the coming years.

One of the projects he highlighted is Vaca Muerta. Regarding the oil field, Marín emphasized: " We are in a period of extraordinary growth ." He then explained that YPF's goal is for Argentina to be able to export $30 billion in hydrocarbons in addition to its current export levels by 2030, which would increase its contributions to the agroindustrial sector. In addition, Marín announced that YPF is seeking to finance new infrastructure projects for a new oil pipeline, for which the company will seek a $3 billion investment.

Another point the executive celebrated was the development and implementation of new technology in its procedures, which was evident in, for example, the new variable fuel pricing system they implemented at their self-service stations, which would allow users to save money in the early morning hours and the company to maximize costs.

At the same time, he ruled out the possibility that the New York court's ruling would impact the price of gasoline, although he acknowledged that the company had recently implemented a price adjustment. " One thing has nothing to do with the other," insisted Marín, who argued that the increase was influenced by fuel taxes and the international outlook for crude oil prices.

Finally, he mentioned the gas outages and shortages experienced in parts of the country in recent days. The YPF president explained that the supply was affected by specific operational issues at two fields, which reduced production for a day, which would have affected pressure in Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata; however, these problems have reportedly been resolved.
