Specula de la pompă? România, campioana scumpirii motorinei, deși are petrol și rafinării. Marți, prețul a ajuns la 10,98 lei

Romania has seen a significant increase in diesel prices, reaching 10.98 lei per liter, despite having domestic oil production and refineries. The price surge followed a brief halt in Kazakh oil exports, yet the expected price drop did not occur. Analysts highlight a market imbalance where price increases are quickly passed to consumers, while decreases take longer to reflect. Romania's diesel price rise of 7.5% in a week is the highest in Europe, raising questions about the rapid transfer of costs to consumers despite lower dependency on imports. Experts suggest that the market operates asymmetrically, with price hikes being immediate and reductions delayed.
