The ongoing conflict in the Black Sea is significantly impacting fuel prices in Romania, with insurance costs for oil tankers skyrocketing. Analysts warn that the price of diesel has already increased by 3 lei per liter this year, and further hikes are expected. The risk of attacks, such as a recent drone strike on a tanker, has made the Black Sea one of the most dangerous maritime routes, leading to increased shipping costs. The European Union is concerned about potential record-high fuel prices this winter, which could affect both businesses and households. Without government intervention, diesel prices could rise by an additional 85 bani per liter.
