România importă 77% din necesarul de petrol, dar este a doua țară europeană cel mai puțin dependentă de importuri. Ce arată datele Eurostat

Brent crude oil prices have surpassed $100 per barrel, highlighting Europe's reliance on imports, particularly in Romania, which has a 77% dependency on imported oil. This figure is lower than many major European economies, with only Denmark having a better rate at 58.1%. While Romania imports significant volumes, it also has domestic production, which mitigates its overall dependency. The EU's import dependency stands at 96.6%, with the Netherlands being the largest importer. Despite Romania's relatively better position, rising oil prices can still impact its economy, especially since a large portion of its oil needs is met through imports, primarily from Kazakhstan. The increase in oil prices affects transportation costs across the EU, indicating potential economic repercussions for Romania.
