Fuel prices: “After Christmas we return to pre-war prices” – What Nikos Papageorgiou reports
Mr. Papageorgiou presented the current market situation, highlighting significant geographical disparities: “In major urban cities the price is below €2, moving close to €1.95-1.96. In contrast, on the islands and in more remote provincial areas, we might see it reach €2.14, 2.15, even €2.19.”
Regarding where prices will fluctuate this summer, he noted: “Prices will be approximately as I told you: In major urban cities close to €1.90, meaning they drop to €1.90. And for the islands it will be around €2.10.”
Concerning what needs to happen to return to pre-war prices of €1.72-1.75, and how much time this requires, he emphasized: “It’s not easy because it will surely last a quarter, provided everything is well in the global community. However, energy product storage is now so sensitive that any small or large event can keep prices at high levels. My estimate is that provided no other serious event occurs, we will return to €1.70 for gasoline and €1.45 for diesel after Christmas.”
