Greece: Greece on Monday launched a 'fuel pass' scheme to help offset rising energy costs driven by the ongoing US-Israel-Iran war. Under the program, eligible car owners on the mainland will receive £50 ($54), while residents of island areas will receive £60, Kathimerini reported. Motorcycle owners will receive £30, or £35 on the islands.

According to Anadolu Agency, the measure applies to individuals, including self-employed workers, with declared annual incomes of up to £25,000 for single applicants and £35,000 for married couples. Authorities estimate the scheme will cover about 75% of drivers in the country, the newspaper said.

Fuel prices have surged following Israeli-US strikes and Iran's retaliatory attacks. Petrol prices on the mainland have risen above £2 per liter from about £1.7 before the war, reaching as high as £2.35 in some island areas. Greece has the highest dependence on Persian Gulf energy among European countries, with roughly 36% of its imports coming from the region.
