Poland considers raising fuel fee

Poland is considering hiking the fuel fee in order to support its road construction fund KFD, deputy Infrastructure and Construction Minister Jerzy Szmit said on Thursday "We are pondering the consequences of hiking the fuel fee: this might be a serious source of revenues for financing the  road construction fund," Szmit said. "We have to remember that all means from the fuel fee are directed to the road fund and the railway fund." Currently the fee amounts to PLN 0,13 for gasoline and PLN 0,29 for diesel. The ministry assessed that the raise may bring PLN 20-40 billion over the next 10 years.
