The fuel market in Romania is facing bleak prospects, with pump prices set to rise significantly. A refinery owned by Lukoil, which contributes about 20% to the domestic supply, risks being shut down due to sanctions imposed by the US, which will come into effect on November 21. The Romanian state could take over Lukoil's assets, but a buyer capable of investing is needed. Diesel has already surpassed the threshold of 8 lei, and prices have increased by 1.3% for gasoline and 3.1% for diesel in the last month, which means additional costs of 5 lei for a full tank of gasoline and 12 lei for diesel. This situation requires swift measures from the authorities to avoid a crisis in the fuel market.
