Fuel Tax Reductions and Concerns Over Price Increases
April 3, 2026
The reduction of fuel prices by 8.33 cents per liter is expected to have little impact on consumers as price increases will offset it. Since the onset of military conflicts, gasoline and diesel prices have risen significantly. The Parliament approved a decrease in the special consumption tax, effective from Saturday, April 4. The fiscal cost of the measure is estimated at €18.6 million. MPs have voiced concerns over potential price hikes due to delays in implementing these measures.
