Fuel margins stable despite price surge after Iran conflict

A first analysis by the Finance Ministry suggests that fuel retailers in Czechia have not significantly increased their margins following the recent spike in prices linked to the Iran conflict. The ministry said it is continuing to monitor the situation and expects more detailed data later this week. Diesel prices have risen sharply since late February, climbing by more than CZK 9 per litre, while petrol has increased by over CZK 4. Finance Minister Alena Schillerová (ANO) said it is too early to consider further measures, but did not rule out future action if needed.
