Un fost ministru de Finanțe răstoarnă teoriile intervențiilor BNR pentru a “ține cursul”: “Euro ar fi fost sub 3 lei”

Former Prime Minister Florin Cîțu warns about the economic situation, claiming high inflation benefits the government by inflating nominal GDP. He criticizes the National Bank of Romania (BNR) for its inaction, suggesting it accommodates inflation. Cîțu believes inflation is higher than initially estimated and that the government relies on it to mask fiscal failures. He predicts that rising global interest rates will force BNR to tighten monetary policy, potentially leading to increased interest rates in a recession. Cîțu also comments on the depreciation of the leu, arguing that BNR has previously intervened to prevent its appreciation, which is often overlooked in media reports.
