Florin Barbu suggests reducing VAT as a key measure to combat inflation, alongside capping commercial markups on basic food items. He argues that the current VAT increase has negatively impacted purchasing power and economic growth. Barbu emphasizes the need for a thorough assessment by state institutions regarding the effectiveness of capping markups to benefit both farmers and consumers. However, the decision ultimately rests with the Minister of Finance, who may oppose the VAT reduction.
