The reason

is

that

gasoline

and

diesel

have

risen

in

price by

at least

30

cents

since

the

measure

was

announced

.

Such an opinion was expressed in the studio of "Hello, Bulgaria" by the senior economist at "Open Society" Georgi Angelov.

“We have to chase a price reduction, not just this discount.

The price itself should be reduced below BGN 3. We still got an exception from the Russian oil embargo and it is very cheap at the moment.

The cost price is much below BGN 3. We must work to reduce this markup", he further explained.

According to Angelov, the real price of fuel is below BGN 2.70 - 2.80.

Vanya Grigorova, the economist from KT "Podkrepa" emphasized that the price is not formed only by the costs of extracting the resource, but also by the trader's expectations for future prices and supplies.

"When the EU imposes sanctions, it gives traders uncertainty about whether they will buy at the next moment and at what price."

That's why they preemptively increase the prices", she explained and emphasized that there is an overcharge.

She believes that a price cap should be imposed.

"We also receive oil from Romania, but there is no particular difference at gas stations.

This is standard trader behavior - he takes advantage of the situation.

If there are no regulations, we cannot hope for lower prices", is her opinion.
