Care e partea bună și cea mai puțin bună din actuala execuție bugetară? Estimările economistului șef al Confederația Patronale Concordia
Romania is likely to meet its deficit reduction plan, according to Iulian Lolea, chief economist at Concordia. The budget deficit at the end of July was 2.34% of GDP, significantly lower than in previous years. Lolea praises the reduction in state salary expenses but notes a rise in interest costs. The interim Finance Minister, Alexandru Nazare, confirms the deficit decrease but warns that challenges remain due to high interest payments. Overall, the budget execution results are seen as a positive sign for maintaining the country's credit rating.
