Diesel prices have decreased by more than UAH 2 in May.

"Gasoline is still standing, but there are also some downward movements, and liquefied gas has also fallen in price recently. As for excise taxes, it is not at all a fact that the price will rise. This is especially true for gasoline and diesel fuel. There are no such prerequisites to say that there will be some kind of a crazy increase", said Sergiy Kuyun, fuel market expert and director of A-95 consulting company. 

At the same time, Kuyun predicts that liquefied gas will rise in price.

"There will indeed be a perception of an increase in price. But calculations show that liquefied gas will still retain its attractiveness and will be quite profitable for those who consume it", said Sergiy Kuyun.

• Recall that on March 22, the government proposed a gradual increase in the excise tax on fuel until 2028. This will bring the excise tax rates closer to the minimum level set in the EU.
• The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has registered a draft law in the Verkhovna Rada that provides for a significant increase in excise taxes on fuel.
