Greece may cap fuel prices if oil hits $100/barrel due to Middle East tensions and LNG disruptions.
Greece is preparing to intervene in its fuel market if global oil prices hit $100 per barrel, driven by rising Middle East tensions and a disruption in Qatar’s LNG exports.
Fuel prices have already risen, with diesel at €1.743 per liter and gasoline at €1.82 as of March 6.
Although Greece does not import directly from Qatar, global LNG price increases are pushing up costs for its imported fuel and electricity, risking inflation and household income losses of up to 5%.
The government may cap fuel traders’ profits and seek EU coordination, while maintaining over 90 days of oil reserves.
A prolonged disruption could add 1–2 percentage points to inflation, reduce GDP growth by 0.5%–1%, and increase energy import costs by €3 billion.
Grecia podría limitar los precios de los combustibles si el petróleo alcanza los 100 dólares por barril debido a las tensiones en Oriente Medio y las interrupciones del GNL.
