The Romanian government holds a minority stake in Rompetrol Rafinare, valued at over €2.5 billion due to a 1,600% increase in stock price. Despite this significant rise, legislation prevents the government from selling any shares. The stock's surge is attributed to global refining margins and investor interest, with expectations for strong quarterly results. The state owns 44.7% of RRC, a stake that has appreciated significantly since a 2013 agreement with Rompetrol. However, a recent law prohibits the sale of state-owned shares until 2027, limiting the government's options amid discussions of potential tax increases to support the budget.
