Deficitul României scade, dar apare un nou avertisment: „Să sperăm că noul guvern nu va stinge luminița de la capătul tunelului”

Romania shows signs of budgetary improvement with a significant deficit reduction in the first seven months of the year. Economic consultant Adrian Negrescu highlights the positive fiscal trajectory but warns against potential populist policies from the future government. Despite the progress, the economy faces major risks, including high public debt and inflation. The budget deficit decreased to 2.34% of GDP, with revenues growing faster than expenditures. However, over 40 billion lei were spent on interest payments, indicating ongoing fiscal challenges. The real test for the budget begins in August, as comparisons with previous years will change, and economic growth remains modest.
