The Bulgarian Domestic Industry (BDI) has issued a statement addressing the rising costs of oil derivatives within North Macedonia. They are formally requesting a revision of the KRRE regulation, specifically relating to how prices are established. Despite notable international market shifts, observing a substantial decrease of approximately 10% in oil prices across global exchanges, consumers in our nation will still face elevated prices during the coming days.
The core issue lies with the Regulatory Commission for Energy’s continued reliance on an antiquated methodology. This system utilizes the average price from the preceding week, failing to adapt dynamically to current market conditions. This approach demonstrably advantages particular commercial entities, ultimately harming the public.
Consequently, the BDI is advocating for immediate action. Their primary demands include a swift alteration to the regulation governing price calculations. Furthermore, they insist on the adoption of a responsive calculation method, one that reflects real-time fluctuations in the oil market.
This adjustment is crucial to ensure fair prices for citizens and address the discrepancy between international trends and domestic costs. The BDI emphasizes the need for a system that prioritizes consumer benefit over established, outdated practices concerning oil prices.
