On Thursday, July 23, on Digi24, in a dialogue with Valentin Chisoceanu, Eugenia Gusilov analyzed Eurostat statistics confirming that in Romania prices rise too fast and fall too slowly. The discussion focused on whether Hormuz or Kazakhstan impacts Romania more, concluding that both matter, but Kazakhstan is particularly critical. It is essential to emphasize that Romania imports crude oil from Kazakhstan, not diesel. In 2025, Romanian refineries processed 11.4 million tons, of which only 2.2 million tons was domestic crude, while 8.9 million tons was imported, with 5.4 million tons coming from Kazakhstan, highlighting a significant market addiction. Regarding what the state can do to lower prices, the state knows what actions are required but is reluctant to act, though it may soon be forced to do so if Kazakh exports do not resume.
