President Nicușor Dan highlighted Romania's budgetary situation, indicating a projected deficit of 150 billion lei for 2026, primarily due to public debt interest. He emphasized that this deficit could fund significant infrastructure projects or healthcare facilities. Dan warned that maintaining fiscal discipline is crucial for the country's credibility in financial markets, as deviations could jeopardize Romania's ability to meet its debt obligations. He also noted that rising state borrowing costs affect loans for individuals and businesses, potentially leading to economic strain and increased unemployment.
