Romanian Finance Minister Alexandru Nazare commented on the proposal to reduce VAT on food to 9%, emphasizing the need for careful consideration due to budgetary constraints.

Nazare also mentioned that discussions regarding the second budget revision are yet to take place with other ministers and the Prime Minister. Agriculture Minister Florin Barbu supports the VAT reduction, arguing it could stimulate consumption and economic growth.
