Proiectul care îi despăgubește pe debitorii prejudiciați de bănci prin manipularea ROBOR, amânat de Comisia Economică din Senat

A legislative proposal by Senator Daniel Zamfir aims to regulate compensation for credit consumers harmed by anti-competitive practices or interest calculation errors. The bill, L447/2026, is not supported by the National Bank of Romania (BNR), which cites concerns about overlapping legal regimes and potential impacts on variable interest rates. Zamfir emphasizes that banks must refund affected consumers once a court decision is final. Senator Ştefan Radu Oprea has called for a two-week delay in discussions to clarify the bill's text. In June 2026, the Competition Council fined ten major banks in Romania for artificially manipulating the ROBOR index, increasing costs for many borrowers.
