In a recent development, the Croatian government convened for a telephonic session, where a crucial decision was made regarding the retail prices of oil derivatives. The outcome of this session is the adoption of the "Regulation on Determining the Maximum Retail Prices of Oil Derivatives."
Effective from the first day of publication, this regulation is slated to be in force for the next 14 days. The revised prices are as follows:
- Gasoline: 1.38 EUR/l (a reduction of 0.02 EUR/l)
- Diesel Fuel: 1.38 EUR/l (a reduction of 0.02 EUR/l)
- Blue Diesel: 0.85 EUR/l (a reduction of 0.02 EUR/l)
The government highlighted that without its intervention and with retail prices entirely subject to the free formation at the level of energy entities' premiums before the first regulation, the prices would have been significantly higher.
This move by the government is expected to have a significant impact on consumer expenses and comes as part of ongoing efforts to manage the economic landscape. The new regulations aim to strike a balance between economic stability and fair pricing for consumers.
