Romania's budget deficit decreased by 1.5 percentage points of GDP in the first nine months of 2026, but the finance minister warns of ongoing fragility. Revenue increased by 11.9%, while spending rose by only 5.5%, indicating better fiscal management. Public investments reached 107.77 billion lei, largely funded by EU sources. The minister emphasized the importance of sustainable financing for future expenditures and cautioned against relying on uncertain revenues. The budget for 2027 will focus on realistic figures and maintaining fiscal discipline, with potential tax increases depending on political decisions.
