Diesel prices in Czechia rise since start of Middle East war

Diesel prices in Czechia have risen sharply since the start of the war in the Middle East on February 28. The average price has increased by more than six crowns to about CZK 39.2 per litre, according to data from the company CCS.

The price of the most common petrol, Natural 95, has increased more moderately and now averages about CZK 36.4 per litre at filling stations across the country.

Analysts say the future development of fuel prices will depend largely on how long the conflict between the United States and Israel and Iran lasts. Donald Trump initially estimated the war could last four to five weeks but has recently said it may end soon.
