Greece is raising its diesel subsidy to €0.15 per litre for the next two weeks, increasing support by €0.05 as elevated fuel costs weigh on households and businesses.
Combined with refinery discounts, the reduction available at petrol stations is expected to reach approximately €0.20 per litre.
Helleniq Energy will maintain its discounts until 14 October, cutting unleaded petrol prices by €0.0795 per litre and diesel by €0.0405.
The government plans to review support every 15 days, allowing adjustments as international prices change.
Attention will next turn to heating oil, whose winter sales season begins on 15 October. Authorities aim to keep the initial retail price below €1.75 per litre, with additional support expected to be announced before sales begin.
The short extensions provide immediate relief while leaving the government room to limit spending if fuel prices remain high.
