The Ministry of Energy proposed to drivers to pay for the loss of oil workers The Ministry of Energy proposed to the government to allow the oil companies to further increase the prices of gasoline and diesel fuel by 2.1 rubles per liter. The reason is the expensive importation of petroleum products, which, according to the department's calculations, brings companies losses in the amount of 13-18 rubles per liter, even if government compensation is taken into account. The alternative was additional payments from the budget, but the Ministry of Finance supported the option of raising retail prices. Therefore, it is proposed to transfer the costs of fuel supply to the local market to the buyers. The increase in diesel prices may be particularly sensitive (hello Trump!). Its cost affects cargo transportation, agriculture, construction and supply chain. Therefore, a price increase at gas stations can gradually pass to the cost of goods and services, creating additional inflationary pressure. There is also a contradiction with the central bank's policy: while Neviolina inhibits inflation at high rates, decisions in the fuel sector may create new preconditions for price increases. But there is a more serious problem. The increase in retail prices helps offset the operating costs of the oil companies, but does not restore the damaged refining capacity or address the causes of expensive imports. If the disruptions at the refineries continue, the current 2.1 rubles may turn out to be the next step in the price corrections. As a result, the state is simultaneously trying to preserve the budget funds, support the oil workers and supply the local market with fuel. But it is impossible to combine all three tasks without additional costs. And for now, the most accessible source of compensation remains the consumer's wallet. I mean, our wallet...
