Oleksandr Sirenko, an analyst at the consultancy firm \u00abNaftorink\u00bb, says that the logistics component of the price per litre of fuel could rise from an average of 2\u20133 UAH to 4\u20135 UAH. Furthermore, the market is under pressure due to high diesel prices in Europe.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The logistics component of fuel prices could rise to 4\u20135 UAH per litre.<\/li>\n<li>Previously, logistics costs averaged 2\u20133 UAH.<\/li>\n<li>The proposal for a 30 per cent increase in freight rates has not yet been approved.<\/li>\n<li>High European diesel prices are keeping the cost of imported diesel high.<\/li>\n<li>Higher fuel prices may increase business costs and inflationary pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Logistics may become more expensive<\/h2>\n<p>According to estimates <strong>Oleksandra Sirenko<\/strong>, following the revision of tariffs, rail logistics will add 4\u20135 UAH to the cost of a litre of petrol or diesel, instead of the current average of 2\u20133 UAH. This means additional pressure on the cost price of the fuel supplied to the Ukrainian market.<\/p>\n<p>However, passing on the exact same amount to the retail price is not automatic. It will depend on the route, the terms of the contracts, traders\u2019 available stocks, the method of onward delivery and competition between petrol station chains.<\/p>\n<h2>The indexation of freight tariffs remains a proposal for the time being<\/h2>\n<p>In June, the Ministry of Development proposed increasing freight tariffs for 30% with effect from 1 August 2026 and changing the pricing principle for empty wagons. However, on 17 July, the relevant working group proposed that the draft be returned to the new government for further revision.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/economics\/%d1%83%d0%ba%d1%80%d0%b7%d0%b0%d0%bb%d1%96%d0%b7%d0%bd%d0%b8%d1%86%d1%8f-%d0%bf%d1%96%d0%b4%d0%b2%d0%b8%d1%89%d0%b8%d1%82%d1%8c-%d0%b2%d0%b0%d0%bd%d1%82%d0%b0%d0%b6%d0%bd%d1%96-%d1%82%d0%b0%d1%80\/\">Ukrzaliznytsia<\/a> explains the need for indexation by citing rising costs. The company describes a 30 per cent increase as a moderate, phased approach which, in its view, will not fully restore its financial position but may help to regain the support of international financial organisations following a final decision.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the draft within the working group are insisting on a more limited revision. In particular, a representative of \u00abUkrmetallurgprom\u00bb <strong>Oleksandr Kalenkov<\/strong> He considered indexation at 5\u201314% to be sufficient, and proposed that the railway\u2019s remaining requirements be funded by the state.<\/p>\n<h2>Imported resources are becoming more expensive despite the trend in oil prices<\/h2>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/economics\/tsiny-palne-ukraina-dyzel-90-grn\/\">the price of petrol<\/a> and diesel are affected not only by domestic transport costs. According to Sirenko, refined petroleum products remain expensive despite the fall in oil prices, which is why Ukraine is forced to import this costly resource.<\/p>\n<p>External price levels remain high according to European Union statistics: in June, the category of fuels and lubricants for private transport was 13.7% more expensive than a year ago. At the same time, on a month-on-month basis, diesel in the EU fell by 6.4% and petrol by 4.2%, so the trend in purchase prices may be uneven.<\/p>\n<h2>Fuel adds to a business\u2019s costs<\/h2>\n<p>Higher fuel prices increase costs for transport operators, manufacturers and the service sector, and may therefore be reflected in prices for consumers \u2014 particularly for food, repairs and transport services. This does not mean that all goods will become more expensive at the same time or to the same extent: the extent of the impact depends on the proportion of fuel costs in a particular business\u2019s overall expenditure.<\/p>\n<p>In June, the National Bank recorded fuel inflation at 33.4% year-on-year. The regulator also linked higher fuel and energy prices to rising costs for transport services, vehicle maintenance and certain food products. At the same time, headline consumer inflation slowed to 7.2% year-on-year, suggesting that the impact of fuel costs may be offset by other factors, notably seasonal supply of certain goods.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The proposal to index UZ\u2019s tariffs has not yet been approved, but it could affect petrol and diesel prices due to higher logistics costs.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":207433355,"featured_media":25836,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0454\u043a\u0442 \u0456\u043d\u0434\u0435\u043a\u0441\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0457 \u0442\u0430\u0440\u0438\u0444\u0456\u0432 \u0423\u0417 \u0449\u0435 \u043d\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u0442\u0432\u0435\u0440\u0434\u0438\u043b\u0438, \u0430\u043b\u0435 \u0432\u0456\u043d \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435 \u0432\u043f\u043b\u0438\u043d\u0443\u0442\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0446\u0456\u043d\u0438 \u0431\u0435\u043d\u0437\u0438\u043d\u0443 \u0439 \u0434\u0438\u0437\u0435\u043b\u044f \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0436\u0447\u0443 \u043b\u043e\u0433\u0456\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0443.","rank_math_title":"\u0427\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0431\u0435\u043d\u0437\u0438\u043d \u0456 \u0434\u0438\u0437\u0435\u043b\u044c \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0443\u0442\u044c \u043f\u043e\u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0436\u0447\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u0442\u0430\u0440\u0438\u0444\u0438 \u0423\u0417","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u0431\u0435\u043d\u0437\u0438\u043d","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805618],"tags":[806753],"class_list":["post-25837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economics","tag-806753"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433355"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25837"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25838,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25837\/revisions\/25838"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
