Și-a încălcat Bolojan promisiunea? Investițiile străine scad dramatic, deși măsurile de austeritate au ferit mediul de afaceri

Foreign direct investments in Romania have dropped by nearly 25% in the first five months of 2026, despite austerity measures intended to protect the business environment. The external debt has risen to 230.9 billion euros, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the government's fiscal policies. Economist Andrei Mocearov argues that austerity disproportionately affects low-income groups and that the current fiscal structure fails to address the underlying issues of insufficient tax revenues. He highlights a consensus among political parties to cut spending rather than increase revenues, which discourages foreign investment. The situation is exacerbated by rising inequality and inflation, which hit the poorest hardest.
