Romanian lawmakers are considering a measure to freeze beer excise taxes for two years, potentially easing price pressures amid rising costs. The budget committee of the Chamber of Deputies unanimously voted for an amendment to maintain the current excise rate in 2027 and 2028, preventing automatic increases linked to inflation. This decision aims to provide stability for the beer industry, which has faced declining consumption. Constantin Bratu, director of the Romanian Brewers Association, emphasized the importance of this measure for local production and the economy. The proposal must still pass a final vote in Parliament before becoming law.
