Guvernul taie acciza la motorină: reducere de 20% în perioada 16-31 august

The Ministry of Finance will temporarily reduce the excise duty on standard diesel by 20% from August 16 to 31, 2026, due to rising international prices. This reduction, amounting to 560.86 lei per 1,000 liters, aims to alleviate pressure on consumers and businesses. The adjustment mechanism allows for rapid state intervention based on market conditions, with a reevaluation every two weeks. Recent price hikes have pushed diesel prices close to record levels, prompting this measure to mitigate the impact on transportation costs.
