In view of high fuel and energy prices, the Saxon Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHK) are calling for rapid relief for companies and consumers. Despite initial signs of easing in the conflict between the USA and Iran, the situation on the energy markets remains a serious threat to economic development, the chambers announced.
Slight decline at filling stations
According to the latest data, petrol and diesel have recently become around three cents cheaper per liter. This is due to a temporary drop in oil prices following a slight easing of the conflict between the USA and Iran. However, experts assume that changes on the oil market often only have a delayed effect at filling stations - and that the trend can also reverse again quickly.
