In Ukraine, gasoline prices at the beginning of February may remain at the following level: gasoline A-95 - 57.50 UAH, diesel - 54.47 UAH and liquefied gas 36.74 UAH. Moreover, today there are no economic factors that could cause sharp changes in prices for gas stations. Alexander Sirenko also commented on the political steps of the new US administration, in particular, we are talking about the statements of American President Donald Trump. They have already led to changes in world markets: “However, after Trump’s inauguration, a number of political and economic measures were adopted aimed at reducing the cost of oil. And this is gradually happening: from $81-82 per barrel, prices have dropped to $78,” the expert explained.

At the same time, during the election campaign, Trump announced a price reduction to $60 per barrel.. And if earlier, as Sirenko notes, experts quite skeptically evaluated such prospects, now such forecasts no longer seem too bold. " And here the world now does not look at these statements with a smile,” Sirenko added..

Also, fuel prices are affected by currencies and demand. The hryvnia rate was somewhat stabilized, so it will not be a factor in changes in the near future, but all three fuel markets (gasoline, diesel and liquefied gas) in the surplus (T. The proposal is dominated by demand).

At the same time, the increase in excise taxes from January 1 has already led to the rise in price of fuel and will not further influence prices. “Excise taxes, which increased on January 1, are already at gas stations,” Sirenko said.

Commenting on a possible level of prices for gas stations in February, the expert noted that there is no basis for growth. However, political steps or even statements by the new US administration can create new factors that will change the situation. " Now 95 gasoline on average in Ukraine costs 57.50 UAH, diesel – 54.47 UAH and liquefied gas 36.74 UAH,” he added.
