mean, number one because of all the expenses of the government and the direct subsidies to, to people, and secondly because we have been allowed to retire money or to withdraw money from our pension fund. Altogether, I mean, pay, money retired from pension funds has been $50 billion and, uh, but, and, uh, subsidies from government about, around $20 billion. Altogether, $70 billion is equivalent to the total expenses of government in a, in a regular year pre-pandemic. So it's, it's a lot of money on one hand. And on the other hand, there are many expenses that have been restricted as restaurants, the travels, vacations, etc. etc. So that most of that money has been concentrating, concentrated on, on consumption, and this is the reason why our volumes has been extraordinary high. I mean, at the same time, of course we are doing, we are doing our job. We are executing the correctly. We are keeping and gaining market share in the different, uh, categories. But the, the real reason behind the, behind this expansion is what I'm explaining. How much is going to, it's going to last? Probably for, probably for semester, a year, 18 months is, but no more than that, so, but I think that, uh, it's wise to imagine that, uh, this trend will not, uh, continue in the future. Having said that, we are gaining scale, and, uh, we expect to keep our scale and not to lose our scale, and we're going to make our best effort, uh, to continue growing. But, uh, I think that, um, that it's more wise and serious to, to imagine that this trend probably is going to last in Q3, eventually in Q4. But for 2022, my recommendation is to be much more careful regarding, regarding this. Okay. I, I ho- I hope you hear me better. Uh, can you comment me- Yes. Excuse me, Fernando. Yes? Now, I'm listening you perfectly. Oh, okay. Great, thank you. Uh, can, in that sense, can you comment what was the, the growth between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages? I mean… Yes. Um, we grew, we grew… I mean, as you know, we present the segmento Chile, the Chilean segment together. Because we operate Chile as one segment, multicategory, same sales, sales force same, same track, same managers. Having said that, uh, we are growing a lot in both segments. In Q2 we grew a little bit less than 40% in beer and little, and a little bit more than 40% in non-alcoholic. Okay. Great. And my, my second question is related to cost. Uh, can you tell me what is your outlook for the remaining of the year and 2022, and what are the different measures that you are implementing to mitigate the increase in raw material cost? Thank you so much. inaudible, I mean, I, I will give you a general answer, and then I will ask Felipe Dubernet to discuss on, on the details on, on cost. I mean, as you know perfectly, and as I mentioned in my introduction, we are facing strong pressures in cost of raw material on one hand and on exchange rate on the other. I mean, exchange rate in Q, in Q2 was not too high, but today, exchange rate in Chile, be- be- before the beginning of this conference, the, the Chilean pesos was 785, I mean, to buy a dollar, which is very high. So in order to offset this, we need to do revenue-management initiatives, number one, to improve our mix, number two, and to be very efficient in terms of, in terms of MSD&A, and we have doing this. I mean, as we know that the, the current level of volume is something transitory, and that sooner than later we'll move to a much normal growth, we have been very careful on, on this, on, on, on hiring people, on keeping our MSD&A, and the tight control, as i- I mean, we are, we are managing MSD&A, as if, as if we were not growing in our volumes, in order to be, to be prepared for the future. And regarding direct, direct cost also, we are doing our best effort in order to make revenue management initiatives, in terms of promotions, discounts to increase the percentage of premium products in our portfolio. So as an example, here, I have the figures. Premiumization, yeah, for example, in Q2… Here I have, in beer, in Chile, premium accounted for more than 40% of our, of our volumes, while in Q2 of 2020 represented just 23% of our volumes, and same thing in all the different categories. Because, again, like, we need to be prepared for a, for a future scenario which is not going to be as good as as 2021, mm? Having said that, and regarding particularly, particular mat- raw material, I prefer, Felipe, you to, to discuss this. As, as you probably know, Fernando, it's a global pressure on raw material cost. For example, aluminum, year-on-year, increase 60% PT, or resting, more than 40%, and so on. You have also international freight, uh, increasing a lot. We saw, uh, containers from China, uh, the actual cost is about $10,000 per, per container, so, uh, this will last, at least, for more than one year, this is what we, we expect, uh, so this outlook. Along with this, we are facing a compared to last year, a more favorable, uh, exchange rate that somewhat compensate that, uh, but it's not, uh, in an, in, in our control. But by saying that, uh, especially the Chilean peso and also the Argentine peso are very volatile, so, uh, the exchange rate in Chile is volatile for, uh, other, uh, process more than international So, so at at the end, we will continue to face inflationary pressures, uh, due to raw materials. So, so, and, and, and the actions are the ones that Patricio highlighted. Great, great. Thank you so much. Thank you, Fernando. We'll take our next question from Felipe Ucros with Scotiabank. foreign language, Patricio, Felipe, inaudible, congratulations on the results. Um, maybe let me start with, one, on the implied price mix, uh, and maybe I can follow up on on Chilean market shares. H, so on the first one, obviously, ve- very solid on your international operation. Um, when I look at it on a currency basket basis, it looks like you were able to increase prices in Argentina very aggressively, but obviously there's also a mixed effect in there. Um, so I was just wondering if you could break that out for us and give us a bit of color on what's happening on, on, on price enforcement or controls in, in Argentina. And then, then I'll follow up with Chilean market shares. Thanks. Yes, I mean, in, in, in Argenti- in Argent- Thank you Felipe for your question. In Argentina, we have been able to cope with, with inflation in our structural prices. And at the same time we're improving, we are improving our mix, um, both on premium which is growing, and we have a shift from returnable bottles to cans. And cans are
