Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka assured in a Friday interview with Polish Radio that the government's “Fuel Prices Lower” package will be in force for the coming weeks – until the situation in the Middle East stabilizes.
Increases in fuel prices on global markets are the result of tensions in the Middle East, including the attack by the United States and Israel on Iran on February 28, which led to increases in the prices of crude oil and finished fuels. Reflex representatives point out that although the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, the ceasefire has limited attacks on oil infrastructure. Experts emphasize that the market is preparing for a longer conflict, and the pace of demining of the strait by the US will be crucial, which will enable an increase in the transport of oil and fuels from the Persian Gulf region.
