French Prime Minister Sébastien Le Corny announced in a televised address at the Prime Minister's Office on the 7th that the French government will release 10 million barrels of diesel from strategic reserves to the domestic market within the next three months, which is expected to reduce the retail price of diesel at gas stations by 12 to 18 cents per liter. Le Corney said that this batch of diesel was purchased before international oil prices rose sharply and will be supplied to French fuel dealers at cost prices, thus driving down terminal retail prices. Le Corney also said that electricity prices in France “should not rise” this winter, and EDF will maximize power generation capacity to maintain stable electricity prices.
