The fiscal deficit for this year may reach the target of 6.25% of GDP, according to the Fiscal Council's analysis. The budget rectification, delayed due to a political crisis, aims to address payment delays and ensure funding for essential services. The report highlights that the cash deficit reported at 3.8% of GDP is lower than last year's figure. However, risks remain, including the absorption of EU funds and external shocks. The rectification increases budgets for various ministries while reducing retained amounts from others. Overall, the projected budget deficit is set at 130.3 billion lei, slightly higher than initially planned.
