Romania's government deficit rose significantly in Q2 2026, reaching 9.2% of GDP, according to Eurostat data. This increase reflects a trend seen across the EU and Eurozone, where deficits also grew. Valentin Lazea from the National Bank of Romania noted the volatility in quarterly deficit reporting, emphasizing that the figures are not annual but specific to each quarter. Romania now has the highest deficit in the EU, followed by Hungary and France. The conference "Romania under scrutiny" discusses the country's economic position amid global pressures and internal challenges.
