Un economist de top avertizează: „Pensionarii să nu se aștepte la o indexare mai mare de 3%. Și asta, dacă sunt bani”

Economist Adrian Negrescu warns that pension increases may not exceed 3% due to budget constraints. He emphasizes the need for the government to secure at least 15 billion euros in loans by year-end. The funding for child allowances and business support remains uncertain. Minister of Labor, Florin Manole, suggests a potential pension indexation of around 7%, pending final figures. Negrescu criticizes the government's program as lacking concrete financial backing and stresses the importance of reforms to gain investor confidence. He notes that Romania relies heavily on state budget transfers for pensions, raising concerns about future funding.
