Florin Cîțu critică politica BNR: "Viață mai scumpă pentru români în schimbul unor indicatori macroeconomici cosmetizați"

Florin Cîțu criticized the National Bank of Romania's decision to maintain the monetary policy interest rate at 6.50%, despite rising inflation forecasts. He argues that higher inflation leads to increased prices for consumers and can make public debt appear smaller relative to GDP. Cîțu questions the BNR's commitment to price stability, suggesting that inflation might be used to mask the true state of public finances. He highlights that while inflation has decreased recently, the central bank warns of potential increases due to rising energy and commodity prices. The Romanian economy has shown signs of stagnation, with declining consumer spending and worsening trade deficits.
