Se îmbogățesc benzinarii pe seama scumpirilor? Consiliul Concurenței prezintă o analiză a prețurilor de la pompă comparativ cu Uniunea Europeană, iar concluzia este că... stăm bine • Economie Biz Brasov

Despite recent increases, fuel prices in Romania remain below the EU average, with a slower rise at the pump compared to international costs. As of September 18, gasoline averaged 9.97 lei/l and diesel 10.78 lei/l. Romania's prices are 8% lower than the EU average for gasoline and 7% for diesel, with significant international price hikes noted. The theoretical gross margins for fuel have compressed compared to August, indicating that international prices have risen faster than retail prices. Diesel remains a sensitive issue due to supply challenges and geopolitical risks, although recent factors may help stabilize prices. The Competition Council highlights that Romania's lower prices are not solely due to taxation, as the gap has widened again recently.
