Romania faces increasing economic pressure despite recent tax hikes. Ruxandra Târlescu from PwC suggests three strategies for fiscal consolidation without raising taxes further. She emphasizes the need to balance fiscal adjustment with economic growth, as the country aims to reduce its budget deficit to 3% of GDP by 2031. Key recommendations include improving tax collection, reforming public spending while protecting productive investments, and ensuring fiscal predictability. Despite recent tax increases, inflation remains high and retail sales have declined. Rating agencies maintain Romania's investment grade but with a negative outlook, indicating the need for continued fiscal efforts.
