Greek fuel prices rise as Brent crude exceeds 100 dollars

Overview

Greece continues to face economic pressure as fuel prices remain high. While previous interventions included diesel subsidies to mitigate costs, recent data shows diesel prices have risen to approximately 2.06 euros per liter, marking a 34% increase compared to September of the previous year.

This surge is driven by Brent crude prices exceeding 100 dollars per barrel. According to ELSTAT, diesel prices rose by 30.6% in August compared to the previous year, while gasoline increased by 15.3% and natural gas spiked by 40.2%. These rising energy and transport costs have contributed to an acceleration in general inflation, which rose to 3.8% from 3.4% in July.

The economic impact on the transport sector is substantial. For a single heavy truck traveling 10,000 kilometers per month, fuel costs have increased from 4,620 euros to 6,180 euros, an additional 1,560 euros monthly. For a small transport company operating five such vehicles, the annual burden could exceed 93,000 euros. Because fuel accounts for roughly one-third of annual operating costs for road transport companies, a 34% increase in fuel prices can raise total operating costs by more than 11%.
