Oil prices remained stable on Tuesday despite increases in world market and refinery prices
According to the Development Ministry, the average price of unleaded petrol was at 1.592 euros per liter, compared with 1.589 euros on Monday.
However, refinery prices (which are based on the average of international prices in the previous five days) were up by an extra 1.0 cent, raising the overall increase in the base market price, cumulatively in the last days, to about 2.0 cents. The fall in international crude prices relieves price pressures on the Greek market, however, and the fluctuation of retail prices has, in any case, remained within normal levels.
At a meeting held with fuel market actors at the environment and energy ministry, both sides noted that there was no reason for concern and that there will only be permanent repercussions if international oil prices continue to rise.
