Nazare avertizează asupra riscului ca România să ajungă la „junk”: Bugetul pe 2027 va fi un test major

Romania's Finance Minister, Alexandru Nazare, emphasizes the need for continued budget discipline through 2027 due to rising public debt and interest payments. He warns against unsustainable commitments that could jeopardize recent fiscal corrections. The public debt has reached approximately 60% of GDP, with significant interest payments increasing year-on-year. The government aims to reduce the budget deficit to 6.2% of GDP by 2026, still above the EU threshold. Nazare highlights the importance of maintaining the sovereign rating and avoiding a 'junk' status, urging realistic revenue projections and clear funding sources for new expenditures. He stresses the need for careful spending control and improved revenue collection to protect investments.
