Riga has the highest fuel prices among Baltic capitals
Fuel prices rose in Riga and Vilnius last week while falling in Tallinn, according to data compiled by the LETA news agency. Diesel prices in both Riga and Vilnius climbed above two euros per litre.
Newly compiled data on fuel prices across the Baltic capitals shows diverging trends over the past working week. According to figures gathered by the LETA news agency, fuel became more expensive in Riga and Vilnius, while Tallinn saw prices move in the opposite direction, dropping.
Diesel crosses the two-euro mark
The most notable shift was seen in diesel fuel, which rose above two euros per litre in both Riga and Vilnius. This means filling up has become noticeably pricier in both capitals compared to before.
Tallinn bucks the trend
Unlike Riga and Vilnius, Estonia's capital Tallinn recorded a decrease in fuel prices last week. As a result, the three Baltic capitals currently show contrasting price dynamics — fuel is getting more expensive in Latvia and Lithuania, while it is becoming cheaper in Estonia.
Overall, the data indicate that Riga currently stands out among the Baltic capitals for having the highest fuel prices, a factor that could affect transport and logistics costs for both residents and businesses in the region.
