Cristian Popa from the Romanian National Bank emphasized that joining the eurozone requires significant economic and political efforts. He highlighted the necessity of reducing the fiscal deficit to meet Maastricht criteria, aiming for below 3% by 2029-2030. While the central bank is technically prepared for euro adoption, broader sacrifices from all decision-makers are essential. Popa acknowledged both the benefits and challenges of eurozone membership, advocating for a balanced understanding of its implications.
