Helleniq Energy Extends Motor Fuel Discounts in Greece Through October 14

Extension of Fuel Discounts and Market Impact

Details of the Discount Extension

ATHENS, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Greece's biggest oil refiner, Helleniq Energy, said on Wednesday that gasoline and diesel fuel discounts offered to domestic fuel retailers will be extended through October 14.

Discount Rates and Duration

Helleniq will continue offering a discount of €0.0795 a litre on unleaded gasoline and €0.0405 a litre on diesel fuel which have been in place since July 14, the company said in a statement.

Purpose and Background

The discounts are part of aid offered by Greece's two biggest oil refiners and the state, aimed at curbing the impact of surging fuel costs, stemmed by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, on households and businesses.

Company Statement

"The measure ... is the most effective and immediate way to achieve across-the-board price cuts," Helleniq said in a statement.

Future Outlook

Helleniq will review market conditions by October 15, when consumers start buying heating oil for the winter.
