The Portuguese government has announced temporary reductions in the ISP (Imposto sobre os Produtos Petrolíferos e Energéticos) for gasoline and diesel, effective Monday. The decision comes amid concerns over rising fuel prices due to the war in the Middle East. The discount amounts to 30.34 euros per 1,000 liters for diesel and 35.13 euros per 1,000 liters for unleaded gasoline, aimed at offsetting increased costs.

The changes were published in the Diário da República and signed by Environment Minister Maria da Graça Carvalho and Fiscal Affairs Secretary Cláudia Carvalho.
