Croatia Gas Storage at 79% as EU Prices Surge 30% in Month

European natural gas prices have risen for a fifth consecutive week, up ~30% month-on-month, while Croatia's storage sits at 79% capacity. Subsidies are halting domestic gas and electricity price increases, insulating consumers but potentially masking market signals. The price surge suggests tightening supply or demand-side pressures across Europe, with implications for inflation and energy security.
