Consiliul Concurenței verifică scumpirea carburanților. „Nu excludem ca unii operatori să fi profitat” • Newsweek România

The Competition Council is investigating recent fuel price increases, suspecting some operators may have taken advantage before a new pricing cap was implemented. They are monitoring the market and awaiting data from the past week, which showed significant price hikes. The president of the council, Bogdan Chirițoiu, noted that the new cap on commercial margins has been introduced, and past price controls resulted in lower prices in Romania compared to the EU. Geopolitical tensions and instability in the oil market have contributed to rising fuel costs, prompting government intervention to protect consumers and stabilize the economy.
