The Romanian government has proposed a budget rectification that increases the consolidated deficit by 3.5 billion lei due to declining revenues and urgent financial needs. This adjustment reflects a significant contraction in state income, with total revenues decreasing by 4.7 billion lei and expenditures reduced by 1.2 billion lei. The projected consolidated deficit for 2026 now stands at 6.24% of GDP. The measure aims to address economic pressures and ensure funding for critical sectors, with discussions for approval expected in the next Executive meeting. Analysts warn that delays in execution could lead to higher costs for the economy.
