Gasoline and diesel prices surged to annual highs above 1.9 euros per liter in Spain due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, prompting pressure on the government to provide relief. The economic impact of the crisis exceeded 10 billion euros in budgetary efforts to mitigate the effect, according to the Minister of Economy, Carlos Cuerpo.
Despite initial criticism from the Airef for not proposing fiscal adjustments, the government faces mounting social, political, and business pressures to address the soaring energy costs. The decree to mitigate the impact on businesses and inflation is due to expire on September 29th, leaving the government with little fiscal room for additional support.
As oil prices approach $108 per barrel, the government seeks new measures to alleviate the burden on families and businesses, with the agricultural sector particularly vocal in its discontent and calls for further fiscal measures.
