Government Sets Price Caps on Fuel Derivatives
The Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning has established temporary price controls on several petroleum derivatives, effective until June 22nd. The measures aim to stabilize fuel costs for consumers. Based on projections without regulated prices, the Ministry estimates that 95-octane gasoline would average around 1.696 euros per liter, diesel would be approximately 1.822 euros per liter, and fuel oil would cost around 1.422 euros per liter.
These figures represent model prices calculated using a methodology that considers global petroleum derivative movements and the euro-dollar exchange rate. The calculation process relies on seven-day average prices of mineral petroleum derivatives. The Ministry will continue to monitor and adjust prices based on these market indicators.
It’s important to note that prices for motorways and expressways remain subject to free market determination by merchants. The implemented price caps specifically apply to retail sales of gasoline, diesel, and fuel oil. The Ministry’s action reflects ongoing efforts to manage fluctuations in fuel prices, ensuring consumers are shielded from significant increases.
