The government could reduce the excise duty on fuels to keep the price of fuel below "a certain psychological threshold," according to the Minister of Energy, Bogdan Ivan.

The Minister of Energy, Bogdan Ivan, announced that he is working together with Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan on a "scenario" for reducing the excise duty on fuels.

This measure comes as a response to the increase in pump prices, influenced by the war in the Middle East, especially by the Israel-US attack on Iran.

Transport companies have already publicly requested this intervention, highlighting the negative impact of the price increases on their activities.

Reducing the excise duty could provide a temporary solution to mitigate the economic effects generated by these international events.
