Support for rising fuel prices, which ended today, is being extended until the end of the month, with a discount on gasoline and a one-cent reduction on diesel fuel, the Finance Ministry said.
“Taking into account all the existing measures, the reduction in the tax burden will be 32.8 cents per liter of diesel fuel and 34 cents per liter of gasoline,” the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry also added that as part of measures to support the agricultural sector, a 6-cent reduction in the taxation of agricultural diesel is maintained.
