Lithuania considers a tax on extraordinary profits. Orlen reacts
Lithuanian Prime Minister Sinkevicius confirmed that the government is considering a tax on extraordinary profits, which could impact Orlen Lietuva's investments. Orlen's CEO indicated that additional taxes might affect their plans for the Możejki refinery, which has seen significant investment but is currently unprofitable. The potential tax could have minor benefits but may strain relations with Poland, as Orlen Lietuva is a major taxpayer and energy security provider in the region. The government is analyzing the implications of this new tax on the energy sector.
