Fuel price controls in Hungary are expected to remain in force even after the formation of a new Government, according to PM-elect Peter Magyar. He emphasized that maintaining current caps on petrol and diesel prices would not create additional pressure on public finances, signaling policy continuity despite political transition.
The announcement follows discussions with Zsolt Hernadi and senior executives of MOL Group, attended by representatives of the Tisza Party. During the meeting, assurances were given that fuel supply across the country will remain stable, even amid ongoing volatility in global energy markets.
At the same time, Magyar called on outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orban to extend the existing measure reducing fuel-related income taxes. With the current decree set to expire at the end of April, he proposed prolonging it for an additional month to help maintain price stability and consumer protection during the transition period.
