Poland will continue to maintain the price cap measures for fuels until wholesale prices decrease consistently.

The Polish Minister of Energy, Milosz Motyka, stated that Poland will maintain the measures to cap fuel prices as long as necessary, with their gradual removal only when wholesale prices begin to decrease consistently. At the end of March, the Polish government announced a reduction in fuel taxes and a cap on pump prices in response to the effects of the war in the Middle East, estimating a budget loss of 1.6 billion zlotys per month.

Motyka mentioned that Poland has the lowest prices in Europe, but remains cautious in the face of risks related to the conflict in the Middle East. Additionally, the Deputy Minister of Energy assured that there is no risk of a fuel shortage for airplanes, although the international situation remains uncertain. The International Monetary Fund warned that price-capping measures are not effective in the long term, weakening incentives to reduce consumption and invest in energy alternatives.
