The Portuguese government announced that the fuel price discount will be larger next week, representing additional relief for consumers given the volatility in energy markets.
The government assures that the measures adopted due to the war in Iran already amount to 300 million euros, evidencing the significant impact the conflict has had on public finances and the national economy.
This reinforcement of support measures comes in a context of sharp rises in fuel prices worldwide, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East region.
Consumers should feel more substantial relief at their next refueling, although authorities warn of the need for continuous monitoring of the situation.
