Nazare: Reducerea deficitului bugetar nu s-a făcut prin oprirea dezvoltării, ci dimpotrivă - Economica.net

Romania's budget deficit decreased to 2.89% of GDP in the first eight months of 2026, with significant public investment allocations. The government emphasizes that this reduction did not hinder development, as public investments reached 97 billion lei, primarily funded by European resources. The fiscal consolidation aims to balance budgetary responsibility with long-term growth, despite challenges such as rising defense costs and unaddressed public sector wage pressures. The upcoming 2027 budget must prioritize realistic funding sources and maintain high investment levels while addressing structural issues and ensuring fiscal predictability. The government stresses the importance of responsible financial management to avoid passing debt burdens to future generations.
