The minister announced that the amendments were agreed with the central bank, which made calculations for a new version of the bank tax and proposed a new calculation method for the ROBOR indexes.
“I think that today we will make it public (…) The most important amendment is detaching the ROBOR value from the bank assets tax. This new ROBOR will be calculated based on daily and interbank transactions in the previous trimester, it is an average which will apply to the following trimester,” the finance minister said.
Teodorovici added that the new ROBOR formula would apply to new and ongoing contracts. He said the European Central Bank has approved the changes.
The decree would also include amendments to the mandatory private pension Pillar II and might include changes to the energy and communications measures introduced by the initial decree, pending on talks with companies and the European Commission on the matter.
