2027 fiscal policy adopted: an Ungheni employee keeps 1,238 lei a year, and cereals stay at 8% VAT until 2028

On 22 October Parliament adopted the package of fiscal and customs policies for 2027. The personal exemption rises from 29,700 to 40,020 lei a year, and the exemption for children from 9,900 to 11,040 lei. At the 12% rate, an employee entitled to the personal exemption pays about 1,238 lei less tax a year. Ungheni district had 15,935 employees at the end of 2025, so the effect of the personal exemption across the district comes to at most 19.7 million lei a year. Compared with the August draft, cereals and oilseeds stay at 8% VAT until 31 December 2027, while livestock farming, crop farming and horticulture move to 12%.

Grain import licensing until 31 October. In Ungheni, millers and livestock farms will be the ones able to apply

Parliament passed the law in second reading on Friday, 4 September, with 53 votes — all from the PAS faction. The original bill would have run until 31 December 2027; what remains is a regime with a hard deadline of 31 October 2026, with no possibility of extension, and industry associations have been removed from the commission that will issue the licences. The law does not apply yet: it enters into force on publication in the Official Gazette. The import licence will be free, but only processors will be able to apply — livestock, milling, oils, animal feed — not traders. In Ungheni district that splits the two camps: 16,889 hectares of cereals on one side, the millers and 6,914 pigs on the other.

175 kilometres without a motorway from Bacău to Ungheni: Romania opens A7, but the corridor to Moldova remains incomplete

Romania today opened 47 new kilometres on the A7 motorway between Adjud and Bacău — the fourth-longest single-day motorway opening in the country's history. From Bacău to the Sculeni border crossing, 175 kilometres remain on ordinary roads. Pașcani, where A7 was supposed to reach under the NRRP, is estimated only for the summer of 2027.

A8 motorway contract to Ungheni suspended by court: 3.5 billion lei and 5 km on the Moldovan side, blocked

The Bucharest Court of Appeal suspended on August 5 the contract for the DN24–Ungheni Border section of the A8 motorway. Construction cannot begin until the disputes are resolved, with a hearing set for September 30. The approximately 5-km segment in the Republic of Moldova — from the bridge to the Ungheni bypass — is caught in the same ruling.

Moldovan wheat sells below cost and the Government wants to stop imports. Ungheni district is caught on both sides

On August 26, the Government backed the reintroduction of import licensing for cereals and oilseeds as a temporary measure until October 31. It is not a government decision — it is an opinion on a draft law that Parliament still needs to vote on. Prime Minister Tofan openly acknowledges the measure helps grain growers but hurts millers and livestock farmers. Ungheni district is caught on both sides: 17,000 hectares of cereals with above-average yields, but also 22 milling companies that need cheap grain.

50 localities in Ungheni district have water, only 7 have sewerage too — what the 598-million programme brings
