For both fuel types, fuel prices have been rising since the beginning of the year. Last Friday, the wholesale price of gasoline increased by HUF 7 per liter and that of diesel by HUF 10 per liter.
Grád recalled that, due to tax obligations, fuel prices rose by HUF 20 on Jan. 1 and another HUF 21 in the middle of the month.
This was only compounded by the increase in the world market price of crude oil and the weakening of the forint.
