De unde mai au românii bani de nunți, cumpărături și vacanțe? Analist: „E în ADN-ul nostru să ne descurcăm” • Newsweek România

Despite rising prices and financial strain, many Romanians continue to spend on weddings and vacations. Economist Adrian Negrescu attributes this to the national resilience and adaptability in tough economic times. He notes a shift in consumer behavior, with a focus on essential goods while still prioritizing family events. The disparity in spending habits between urban and rural areas is significant, with wealthier regions maintaining higher consumption levels. Additionally, the informal economy plays a role in funding these expenditures, as many Romanians earn unreported income that contributes to their spending.
