Romania extends 25% diesel excise cut to end-October

Romania's Ministry of Finance extended the temporary 25% reduction in standard diesel excise duty through 31 October 2026, keeping the rate at 2,103.22 lei per 1,000 liters. The extension follows a bi-annual reassessment required by law, indicating continued government intervention to moderate fuel prices. This is a routine policy adjustment with limited market impact beyond domestic fuel pricing.
