Florin Cîțu susține că guvernarea cu măsuri socialiste a adus România în recesiune

Florin Cîțu criticizes the Romanian government following IMF's forecast of a 0.5% economic contraction in 2026, attributing it to socialist fiscal policies. He highlights that Romania is the only emerging economy expected to shrink this year, contrasting it with the growth of Russia and Ukraine. Cîțu links the economic downturn to tax increases proposed in mid-2025, claiming these policies have led to recession. The IMF predicts a recovery in 2027 with a 2.2% growth, although this estimate has also been revised down. Inflation is expected to average 8.2% in 2026, higher than previous forecasts.
