In 2025, meal vouchers contributed over 21 billion lei to Romania's economy, supporting 161,000 jobs. The study by ASE highlights their broader economic impact beyond direct benefits to employees.

Additionally, the reduction of vacation vouchers led to a significant drop in domestic tourism, while social vouchers saw an 85% decrease, affecting job support and economic contribution. The decline in social vouchers particularly impacted rural communities, where agriculture and fishing rely heavily on this support.
