The coalition has decided to maintain the cap on the commercial markup for 17 basic food items, ensuring lower prices for Romanians until March 2026.

Sorin Grindeanu announced that Romanians will have access to 17 basic food items at lower prices, due to the continuation of the cap on commercial markups. This measure is considered essential for protecting the purchasing power of those with low incomes, warning that its removal could lead to an increase in poverty among over a million Romanians. The coalition agreed to extend the cap until March 2026, following discussions with political leaders.
