Energy minister Bogdan Ivan reversed an earlier position on the possible rise of gas and diesel costs in Romania due to the conflict in Iran and the wider Middle East. During an interview given on Tuesday, March 3, Ivan said that fuels could reach RON 10 per liter if the barrel of oil exceeds USD 110-120, contradicting statements he had made a day earlier.
On Monday, March 2, Ivan said that a price increase of roughly RON 0.03-0.05 per liter of gasoline and diesel is expected in the coming period due to the conflict in the Middle East. At the same time, he ruled out a price of RON 10 per liter.
