PSD has instructed Finance Minister Nazare to refrain from presenting a budget rectification until exact deficit figures are disclosed. The party estimates a budget gap of at least 35 billion, stemming from unpaid medical leaves, outstanding infrastructure bills, and judicial salary rights. This situation complicates Romania's fiscal landscape, potentially impacting the planned budget rectification and raising concerns over pension increases for 2027. Prime Minister Niculescu has not ruled out tax hikes to fund future pension adjustments, a possibility Nazare has acknowledged, emphasizing the need for fiscal sustainability.
