Such high fuel prices were also present in 2022.
Energy expert Juris Ozoliņš noted in an interview with TV-24 that four years ago, from February to August, the price of diesel fuel was also at the level of 2.2-2.3 euros per liter. High fuel prices persisted almost until December 2022. "And nothing - we survived," the expert reminded. He does not see an urgent need to reduce excise tax rates.
"It is clear that ministers say what the people want to hear, especially during the election period," believes J. Ozoliņš. Experience shows that it usually takes 5 months for fuel prices to stabilize.
