Florin Dănescu, director of the Romanian Banking Association, revealed that in 2023, bankers proposed a temporary 1% contribution on turnover to help balance the budget. Instead, a 2% tax was imposed, later increased to 4%. Dănescu highlighted the rising budget deficit, which reached nearly 10% in 2024, prompting the government to raise taxes, including doubling the banks' contributions. He criticized the government's approach, stating that excessive taxation on creditors could hinder credit availability, exacerbating the credit crisis. He also mentioned a previous tax on bank assets, labeled as a greed tax, aimed at addressing banks' lending to the state.
