Diesel is set to become more expensive in Romania by more than 30 bani starting July 1, when the excise duty reduction measure expires. The measure was introduced by the now-dismissed Ilie Bolojan government at the beginning of April to counter fuel price hikes caused by the war in Iran . Back then, the government also decided to reduce the solidarity contribution for companies in the energy sector, according to Biziday .  The two measures led to a reduction of RON 0.36 per liter (including VAT), as excise duty accounted for more than a quarter of the per-liter price.
