EXCLUSIV Factura înarmării prin SAFE: România împrumută 16 miliarde € pe 45 ani. Nu știm câți bani returnăm • Newsweek România

Romania plans to borrow up to €16.68 billion through the SAFE program, repayable over 45 years, with an estimated interest rate of 3-3.5%. The Ministry of Finance has not disclosed the total cost of the loan or its impact on public debt. The funds will be used for military contracts and infrastructure projects, with a significant portion allocated to German companies. The repayment will be managed through the general public debt mechanism, affecting taxpayers for decades. The government has yet to clarify the handling of contracts that may not be completed by the funding deadline in 2030.
