Matej Lahovnik believes daily fuel price coordination, as suggested by Petrol, represents the best approach. However, weekly coordination, proposed by the government, is also deemed acceptable. He emphasizes that comparisons with other nations reveal Croatia utilizes a two-week fuel price coordination system.
The core understanding is that rapid price changes stem from events occurring on stock exchanges. Lahovnik uses recent geopolitical news as an example. Following Donald Trump’s announcement of a temporary halt to attacks, the oil price plummeted below $100 (approximately €86) per barrel.
Conversely, repeated negative news triggered a subsequent rise back above this threshold. He cautions that the detrimental impact of elevated fuel prices on consumers’ finances will be substantial, particularly if the current situation persists. He predicts that transport services are likely to increase by 10 to 15 percent due to the ongoing price volatility.
Effective coordination is crucial to manage this fluctuating fuel price environment.
