„Un leu din șapte cheltuiți de stat este împrumutat”. Economistul șef al BNR pune promisiunile politice față în față cu aritmetica

Valentin Lazea, chief economist of BNR, highlights the disconnect between economic realities and public expectations regarding budget deficits and salary increases. He emphasizes that a significant portion of state spending is financed through loans, warning that failure to address this could lead to forced adjustments. Lazea advocates for a four-year political pact linking salary and pension increases to economic resources and improved tax collection. He stresses the importance of aligning salary growth with nominal GDP and combating tax evasion to achieve fiscal stability. Lazea concludes by proposing a political agreement to ensure these economic principles are upheld.
