Last week, the average prices of 95-octane petrol and diesel in Latvia stayed at the same level as the previous week, according to European Commission data. Compared to the beginning of the year, fuel has become significantly more expensive.
According to data compiled by the European Commission, the average price of 95-octane petrol in Latvia stood at €1.797 per litre in the week from 15 to 22 June, unchanged from the week before. Two weeks earlier, the same fuel cost €1.866 per litre.
The average diesel price also remained stable at €1.786 per litre, identical to the previous week. Two weeks earlier, diesel was slightly higher at €1.789 per litre.

On 1 April, the Law on Limiting Fuel Price Increases came into effect, temporarily reducing the excise duty on diesel from €467 to €396 per 1,000 litres. For marked diesel used in agriculture, the excise rate is €21 per 1,000 litres. Initially planned to apply until 30 June, the coalition parties agreed on 8 June to extend the reduced excise rates until the end of the year.
