Price forecasts for gasoline and heating oil
Current gasoline prices in Greece have stabilized around 2 euros per liter. Analysts expect heating oil to cost significantly more than last year, with increases reaching 70 percent in some projections.
Impact on households
The combination of stable high gasoline prices and sharply higher heating oil costs is likely to strain family budgets. Lower-income households in particular may face difficult choices between heating and other essentials.
Government response options
Calls have emerged for reductions in the Special Consumption Tax on fuels. No official announcement on new measures has been made at this time.
Next steps
Further price updates are expected as the heating season approaches and global oil markets evolve. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Source content insufficient. Enrichment recommended on: current exact price data, government statements, regional variations within Greece.]
