Cum afectează oscilațiile preţului petrolului România. Analist: Mai periculoase decât un preț mare, previzibil

Romania is facing significant economic challenges due to volatile oil prices, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions. The country’s trade deficit in crude oil and petroleum products has surged over 40% in the first half of 2026. Analysts warn that price fluctuations are harder to manage than stable high prices. The Brent crude price has seen dramatic swings, impacting local fuel costs, which have increased daily expenses for drivers significantly. Romania's dependency on imported refined products has grown, leading to financial losses in trade balances. While the government has attempted to mitigate price shocks through tax adjustments, the underlying vulnerabilities remain, necessitating support for local producers to enhance resilience against external shocks.
