Spritpreise: Preisdeckel statt Steuerrabatte: Warum Ölkonzerne in Italien Benzin unter Marktpreis verkaufen
Zwei Konzerne geben sich freiwillig einen Tankdeckel für Benzin und Diesel. Damit helfen sie Ministerpräsidentin Giorgia Meloni und der klammen Staatskasse – aber auch sich selbst.
Italian oil companies Eni and IP have announced voluntary price cuts for petrol in the country. Eni planned to offer petrol and diesel at around 17 cents per liter cheaper than the average of the previous week, setting maximum prices of €1.99 per liter for petrol and €2.19 per liter for diesel at their fuel stations. This price ceiling was set to take effect by the end of October and may be extended until the end of the year, Eni announced.
Italian Petroli (IP) followed suit the same day. However, it is unclear how the company intends to implement the price ceiling across all of its affiliated stations. Approximately 40% of Italy's fuel stations are part of Eni or IP's networks. The Italian state is monitoring and trading the conglomerate, which declared the move on Friday afternoon and was promptly praised by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for the "commendable act of consideration for Italians" and aid to Italian families.
