Origo noted that approximately half of the price of gasoline and diesel is acquired by the Hungarian state in the form of different taxes, which had a value of HUF 210.5 per liter in September but is expected to drop to HUF 178 per liter.
Miklós Hegedűs, energy analyst for GKI, told Origo that gasoline and diesel prices are expected to decrease further in the coming three months, and will cause a loss of HUF 10-15 bln in the budget this year.
