There is a decision by the president regarding fuel prices. “Sky is not the limit”
President Karol Nawrocki signed laws lowering fuel prices, said the spokesman for the head of state.
– The President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, signed laws lowering fuel prices during a flight to Dallas. Sky is not the limit! – said the president’s spokesman, Rafał Leśkiewicz, on the X platform.
Fuel prices will fall before Easter
Let us recall that on Friday, parliamentarians (first MPs and then senators) adopted projects amending the Act on stocks of crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas and the rules of conduct in situations of threat to the state’s fuel security and disruptions on the oil market, as well as changes to the Excise Duty Act.
The package called “Fuel Prices Lower” (CPN) includes, among others: reduction of the VAT rate on fuels from 23%. up to 8 percent and a reduction of excise duty to the minimum EU levels (by PLN 29/l for petrol and PLN 28/l for diesel). Additionally, a maximum retail price of fuel will be introduced, valid for three months – until June 30, which is expected to reduce prices at stations by approximately PLN 1.20/l.
The maximum price will be set daily by the Minister of Energy based on the average wholesale prices of the five largest entities, plus the margin and VAT. The mechanism is intended to reduce speculation and increase market transparency, without interfering with wholesale prices. The National Audit Office will supervise its compliance, with fines of up to PLN 1 million for violations.
Even before the president’s decision, experts pointed out that a quick decision on this matter would result in a significant drop in fuel prices at gas stations next week, i.e. just before the holidays.
E-petrol.pl analysts forecast that in the period from March 30 to April 5, Pb98 gasoline may cost from PLN 6.59 to PLN 6.79/l, while the popular “95” should range from PLN 5.99 to PLN 6.19/l. Diesel oil could be sold at prices ranging from PLN 7.39 to 7.60/l, while the price of autogas could range from PLN 3.73 to 3.86/l (previous information on CPN did not include this fuel).
