Romanian citizens in communes that agree to merge under a territorial reform project may benefit from a 50% tax reduction. Minister Alexandru Stoica announced that merged localities will receive investment funds. The initiative targets 429 communes with populations up to 1,500, with measures expected to take effect in 2028. The government is preparing a program to encourage the merging of small municipalities, which will include funding and tax reductions for residents. A public consultation for the program will begin next week, lasting 10 days before reaching the government. Local authorities should prepare for referendums by March 1, 2027. Stoica emphasized the importance of maintaining quality public services post-merger.
