The Portuguese Government will this week increase the discount on fuel prices by about 3 cents. The discount will be applied to both diesel and gasoline and will be implemented through a tax reduction.
This measure comes in a context of constant rising fuel prices, which have been worrying Portuguese families and businesses. The executive branch thus intends to mitigate the impact on consumers' wallets.
The increase in the discount represents an effort by the Government to keep up with the evolution of prices in the international market. This is not the first time the executive has made adjustments to this consumer support measure.
