In a TV show he attended, Treasury and Finance Minister Nureddin Nebati stated that diesel fuel pries are around 22 liras and complained that the media did not make headlines about fuel prices.
Upon the insistence of the Minister, we made the headlines of fuel prices once again.
As a result of a short research we did, we saw that the diesel price, which was 7.34 TL in August last year, has actually increased to 22 liras, as Mr. Nebati said, these days.
While the Minister was speaking, there was another hike in fuel oil…
Although the barrel price of Brent oil, which is the main determinant of fuel prices in our country, has fallen to the lowest level of recent years, the expected decreases in our country never come.
Finally, on Friday last week, the price of gasoline dropped to 20 TL by reducing 2 liras and 23 cents.
The diesel price, on the other hand, was close to 22 TL with 1 lira 15 cents discount on Friday and 1 lira discount on the previous day.
The day before the reduction in the diesel price was made, that is, the day the Minister spoke, the diesel price was increased by 81 cents again.
