Romania faces a significant economic risk of losing 4.2 billion euros if the EU does not validate the last PNRR payments. Economist Adrian Negrescu warns that the country lacks budget reserves to cover this amount, which has already been factored into the budget. If the milestones are not accepted, the deficit will increase without new payments being signed. Additionally, rising borrowing costs are a concern, with interest payments reaching 50.6 billion lei in the first nine months. Negrescu suggests considering a preventive agreement with the IMF as a safety net against potential economic shocks. He emphasizes the urgency of implementing reforms to avoid future risks.
