An analysis from the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies discusses two proposals to increase purchasing power through meal vouchers. One suggestion is to raise the value of meal vouchers from 45 to around 50 lei by adjusting the indexing formula. The other proposal involves eliminating the health insurance contribution on these vouchers. The study estimates that the first option could inject approximately 2.4 billion lei annually into the economy, providing an additional gross benefit of about 1,272 lei per year for employees receiving vouchers. However, both proposals would require legislative changes and have different implications for public budgets and employers.
