[ad_1] The Ministry of Finance estimates that it will collect approximately 8.

2 billion lei from banking sector taxation in 2026, an amount that includes taxes paid by commercial banks and payments from the net revenues of the National Bank of Romania (BNR).

Even so, total state revenues from this sector are expected to be lower than in 2025, according to data included in the draft budget.

Estimated revenues for 2026 would be approximately one billion lei lower than those in 2025, when the state benefited from larger amounts transferred by the central bank.

The main explanation is the reduction in the amounts transferred by the NBR.
