Filling up in Belgium will become a lot cheaper on Wednesday. Prices at the pump are set to fall by several cents, according to the Federal Public Service for the Economy.

Although US President Trump has failed to get oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz flowing again, fuel prices in Belgium are falling this week. The maximum price for a litre of Euro95 is dropping by more than 9 cents to 1.866 euros. Petrol and diesel prices are also falling in the Netherlands, albeit at a slower rate. There, the recommended retail price fell by just over 2 cents on Tuesday to 2.599 euros per litre, according to data from the consumer benefits platform UnitedConsumers. The difference in the price of a litre of petrol between Belgium and the Netherlands has risen to over 70 cents.

The difference in diesel prices between the two countries is less pronounced. On Wednesday, motorists in Belgium were paying almost 8 cents less per litre of diesel, at 2.211 euro. This is also cheaper than in the Netherlands, where the recommended retail price fell by just over 2 cents on Tuesday to 2.635 euro per litre. The gap between fuel prices in the two countries usually leads to an increase in cross-border fuel shopping in the border region.

Petrol and diesel prices react with a delay to oil prices. These fell sharply on Monday following statements by US President Donald Trump regarding the temporary call-off of a planned attack on Iran. On Tuesday, crude oil prices rose slightly again. Brent crude rose by just over 2 per cent to $85.68 per barrel.
