Worries

“Iran’s attack on Israel came to be added to a series of events that are causing problems in the international market of petroleum products”, the president of the Association of Petroleum Trading Companies of Greece and president and CEO of ELINOIL, Mr. Yannis Aligizakis, characteristically comments to OT.

The market is characterized by a lack of products, due to the European sanctions on Russian refineries, the damage suffered by the refining units in Russia due to the Ukrainian attacks and at the same time due to the high demand from China and India.

According to him, the domestic fuel market is fatally affected: “If we also take into account the increased demand for gasoline and diesel for traffic due to increased travel ahead of the summer season, then the prices in the Greek market will not remain unaffected”, the president emphasizes and CEO of ELINOIL hastening, however, to clarify: “Of course, let me remind you that the petroleum sector does not have the possibility for higher profit margins. And this is because for the last almost three years it has been under the regulatory regime of the ceiling on gross profit margins”.
