Poland Signs Windfall Tax Bill to Cut Fuel Prices
Polish President Karol Nawrocki signed a windfall tax bill targeting energy companies. The revenue will fund measures to reduce retail fuel prices by this weekend.
Poland enacted a 60% windfall tax on energy companies targeting 2026 fuel revenues that exceed the previous year's average by 20%. The legislation follows surging margins driven by supply shocks from the Middle East war. Prime Minister Donald Tusk aims to channel proceeds directly into lowering pump prices for consumers.
