MINTI Sets Maximum Prices for Oil Derivatives Effective Tuesday
Brussels – The Ministry of Industry, Enterprise, Trade and Innovation (MINTI) has announced the maximum permitted prices for key oil derivatives, taking effect on Tuesday, May 12th. The finalized prices, valid for a 24-hour period, are as follows: oil at €1.60 per liter, gasoline at €1.50 per liter, and gas at €0.78 per liter. This decision represents a slight adjustment compared to Monday’s established prices.
Oil prices have decreased by one cent per liter, while gas prices have also reduced by one cent. Gasoline prices remain unchanged at €1.50 per liter. The new price controls are scheduled to come into effect at 10:00 local time.
MINTI’s action is intended to manage consumer costs and stabilize the market for these essential commodities. The Ministry monitors and adjusts prices regularly to ensure affordability and market stability. These maximum prices will be closely observed, and any significant fluctuations will be subject to further review.
The changes reflect ongoing efforts to control prices for oil and related products. The reduction of one cent per liter for both oil and gas highlights the Ministry’s commitment to mitigating potential price increases.
