Doltu added that any potential increase of the trading costs for the financial system’s clients may significantly affect the still fragile local economic environment.
“We further evaluate the potential impact of levying a new ax on financial transactions, according to the European Commission’s intention. For now, such a tax should not be urgently levied,” said Doltu.
On Tuesday, the Finance ministers of the EU’s states approved the introduction of this tax in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Portugal, Belgium, Estonia, Greece, Slovakia and Slovenia.
