România are cea mai mare scumpire a motorinei din UE: prețurile din Sibiu au urcat din nou

Romania has seen the highest diesel price increase in the EU, with a 7.5% rise in just a week. Despite having some domestic production, prices have surged more than in countries reliant on imports. Analysts suggest that the price hike cannot be solely attributed to international market fluctuations, as Romania's supply structure should provide better protection against price shocks. A significant unexplained price difference of 0.45 lei per liter exists, potentially benefiting both companies and the state budget. The government collects additional VAT revenue from high prices, which may have short-term fiscal advantages but could harm the economy in the long run.
