Siegfried Mureșan, despre prețurile la carburanți și TVA: Vreau să reducem TVA-ul înapoi la 19% de îndată ce ne permitem

Designated Prime Minister Siegfried Mureșan attributes high fuel prices to rising oil costs due to the Middle East conflict, not to Ilie Bolojan's policies. He expressed a desire to reduce VAT from 21% to 19%, but noted immediate changes are not feasible due to the budget deficit. Mureșan emphasized that the previous government's decisions were necessary to regain trust from lenders, as Romania faced a significant deficit of 9.3% a year ago. He highlighted that increasing public debt has shifted funds away from investments towards interest payments, complicating financial stability. Mureșan aims for gradual tax reductions as the economy allows.
