-- 据彭博社周二报道，葡萄牙财政部长若阿金·米兰达·萨尔门托表示，葡萄牙将推进一项提案，对能源公司征收暴利税，以缓解伊朗战争爆发后消费者和企业面临的能源成本飙升问题。 萨尔门托称，这项拟议的能源利润税将参照2022年能源危机期间实施的措施。 据报道，萨尔门托表示：“我们将借鉴2022年采取的措施，进行微调和改进，并在近期向议会提交提案。” 葡萄牙财政部尚未回复的置评请求。 上个月，包括德国和西班牙在内的一些欧盟国家联名致信欧盟委员会，呼吁对能源公司利润征收暴利税。 萨尔门托表示，联署国计划协调各自的政策应对措施，并邀请其他成员国加入这项倡议。 “我们将沿用2022年通过的措施，对其进行微调和改进，并在近期向议会提交一份提案，”他说道。 尽管欧盟委员会已表示将把此类措施的最终决定权留给各个成员国，但葡萄牙及其盟友正在寻求一个能够协调欧盟各国战略的框架。 由于持续的中东危机导致霍尔木兹海峡航运几乎停滞，切断了石油和液化天然气的关键供应线，全球能源价格飙升至历史新高。 （市场动态新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话。这些信息据信来自可靠来源，但可能包含传闻和推测。准确性无法保证。）
