Abstract
[en] This thesis critically analyzes whether Belgium's current formula for maximum fuel prices is
suitable in a high‐income country context or if a transition to a fully liberalized approach is
needed. The study compares Belgian fuel prices with Germany's market‐driven prices, focusing
on responsiveness to crude oil price fluctuations. Additionally, it investigates the impact of
the 2022 energy crisis on the Belgian formula, considering governmental interventions and
comparing them with selected EU countries. The thesis aims to provide empirical evidence to
evaluate the appropriateness of Belgium's fuel pricing strategy.
