B1TV: Cartea electronică de identitate, eșec de sute de milioane: statul a ratat ținta PNRR • Newsweek România

Romania's electronic identity card initiative has fallen short, with only 2.36 million issued by August 2026, missing the revised target of 3.5 million. The government aimed for a modern digital identity system but failed to prepare its institutions adequately. Originally, the goal was to reach 5 million cards by July 2026, but this was later adjusted. The lack of progress highlights ongoing challenges in digitalization efforts.
