Diesel and gasoline A 95 in Bulgaria are currently priced at about 20% cheaper than the average European prices. This is what energy expert Martin Vladimirov told the BNR. The indicated values ​​are for wholesale raw materials, he specified. Usually in such a concentrated market as the Bulgarian one, where several big players control 75-80% of the entire trade, such movements are rare.
According to Vladimirov, this is most likely due to weak demand due to the restrictive measures against the spread of coronavirus.
