The Romanian Competition Council and the National Bank of Romania are in a legislative dispute over the calculation of the ROBOR index following significant fines imposed on major banks. The Competition Council's president emphasized the need for changes to prevent artificial inflation of the index and mentioned that clients can seek compensation through the courts. However, the National Bank has stated it will not alter current regulations regarding ROBOR. The Competition Council recently concluded an investigation into the banks' practices, resulting in fines totaling approximately 3.73 billion lei. A court has already rejected a request from CEC Bank to suspend the fines, marking the first ruling in ongoing legal challenges by the banks.
