Cosmin Marinescu, BNR: România trebuie să treacă de la creștere cantitativă la una bazată pe productivitate și competitivitate / Datoria crește rapid, iar dobânzile ajung la 3% din PIB

Cosmin Marinescu emphasized the need for Romania to shift towards a sustainable economic model focused on productivity and investment, rather than accumulating public debt. He highlighted the rapid increase in public debt and the burden of interest payments on the budget. Fiscal consolidation should improve public spending quality to support economic growth, while addressing issues in state-owned companies and the private sector. He also pointed out the low financial intermediation in Romania and the high financing costs for businesses. Finally, he linked public finance sustainability to Romania's European convergence criteria.
