Petrișor Peiu acuză Guvernul că ascunde 35 de miliarde de lei din deficit. Ce arată cifrele Eurostat

Petrișor Peiu, leader of AUR senators, claims the Romanian government misrepresents the budget deficit, citing a 35 billion lei discrepancy between government figures and Eurostat data. He argues that the government reports a cash deficit of 2% of GDP, while Eurostat shows a much higher deficit of 7.4% for Q1 and 7.8% for Q2. Peiu emphasizes the importance of the ESA methodology, which accounts for financial obligations, contrasting it with the government's cash-based reporting. He questions the government's optimism about improving the budget situation by year-end, highlighting that Romania's deficit is significantly above the EU average. The Ministry of Finance acknowledges differences in deficit calculations due to various accounting adjustments.
