Cea mai mare scumpire din UE a carburanţilor vine din Bulgaria

Bulgaria experienced the highest annual fuel price increase in the EU in August 2026, with a rise of 34.5%. Diesel prices reached around 2 euros per liter, nearing Romanian prices. This surge follows Bulgaria's adoption of the euro and supply issues due to a lack of domestic oil production. Overall, fuel prices in the EU rose by 23.8% year-on-year, with 18 member states seeing increases over 20%. The Bulgarian government announced a financial package to mitigate high fuel prices, including tax cuts and support for key sectors. The transition to the euro has led to significant price adjustments in Bulgaria, marking a shift from previously lower fuel costs.
