PNRR după 31 august: când riscul finanțării publice se transferă în bilanțul companiilor (Op-ed)

The deadline for fulfilling milestones under the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism was August 31, 2026. The government reported over 90% absorption of grants and 95% of loans, but over 2,000 projects remain unfinished. The financial risks associated with delayed payments affect companies, especially SMEs, which may struggle with liquidity despite having completed work. The evaluation of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) should consider not only absorption rates but also the economic sustainability of investments, including the time and capital required for execution and payment. Future financial frameworks must address these challenges to ensure equitable access for all companies.
