Greece announces €100 million emergency support for fuel and heating costs
What happened
Greece plans to implement an emergency support package valued at approximately €100 million to lower heating oil and diesel prices. Measures include continuing the diesel subsidy starting in October and introducing a subsidy at the pump alongside a profit margin cap for fuel distributors. Heating oil sales are scheduled to begin in mid-October, with the government aiming to keep retail prices below €1.75 per litre.
