The Romanian government faces tough decisions for the 2027 budget, with potential cuts to programs and delayed investments due to a significant deficit and high interest payments. Mihai Fifor emphasizes the need for ministries to identify projects to cut while ensuring that economic development is not compromised. The Finance Ministry will consolidate proposals to set budget limits, focusing on reducing waste and redirecting funds to support the economy. Additionally, outstanding financial obligations from previous years must be assessed before allocating funds for 2027. The PSD party calls for continued investments and protection of living standards, while the government stresses fiscal discipline and efficiency.
