Valentin Lazea, chief economist of the National Bank of Romania, advocates for a political pact to ensure fiscal stability and reduce the budget deficit. He emphasizes the need for a correlation between nominal GDP growth, salaries, and pensions, alongside improved tax collection. Lazea highlights that Romania loses significant revenue due to uncollected VAT and profit tax, which exacerbates the deficit. He calls for measures to combat tax evasion and reform the National Agency for Fiscal Administration. Lazea's views are personal and do not reflect the official stance of the BNR.
