For a scenario for fuel prices after a fuel VAT rate increase from 8 percent to up to 23 percent President PKN Orlen was asked on TVP Info.
— The refund of VAT, according to the decision of the European Commission, should not have a significant impact on the fuels in our stations. We will do everything to keep fuel prices at a similar level and we will keep our word Obatek said.
According to him, it will be possible thanks to the strengthening of the zloty and the price of crude oil remained between 80 and 90 USD. per barrel. At the same time, he added that the merger of Orlen and Lotos also contributed to the stabilization of prices.
At the same time, the head of the fuel company warned of panic before the end of the year and encouraged to use the stations in Orlen normally, i.e. at the end of the year.
