Fuel and electricity prices are falling, according to the latest data from the Greek Ministry of Development (April 11). The average price of unleaded petrol has decreased to €1.755 per liter, down from €1.794 at the beginning of 2025 and €1.962 in April 2024. Diesel prices have also dropped to €1.522, compared to €1.578 in January and €1.715 a year ago, CE Report quotes Athens-Macedonian

This decline is driven by international market volatility caused by U.S. tariffs and fears of a global economic slowdown, both of which are dampening fuel demand. Refinery prices for unleaded petrol alone fell 8 cents in a week, reaching 53 cents per liter on April 11.

A stronger euro against the dollar has also helped lower fuel costs, as oil is priced in dollars.

Electricity prices have followed suit, falling to €0.138/kWh in April, down from €0.174 in January (excluding state subsidies). In April 2024, the price stood at €0.11. The drop is linked to high renewable energy output and weak demand. If current trends persist, prices may continue to decline into May.
