Our commitment as a government is to ensure that parliament approves a budget this November to provide predictability for the economy, investors, and a fiscal and budgetary strategy that will give us an idea of ​​how the state’s approach will work in supporting the economy, said Finance Minister Adrian Cachiu.

“There will also be elements of a specific forecast in terms of the number of workers, the average salary, the development of GDP and all the elements that we see,” he told the DC News conference.

Referring to INS data on economic growth in the second quarter, he said it was: “actually the result of how Romanian companies responded to the challenges they faced. This is a positive result that I was counting on and that we were going for as far as we could from the point of view of the government, limited by the resources that the state has.”

“We have a request for you, as well as the companies or the business community, to pay attention when we start to fall asleep in this partnership, because public institutions, not necessarily those who lead them, have this … tendency to sleep, sometimes,” he also stated.

Romania’s economy, Caciu says, will grow more this year than predicted in the summer forecast.

• I won’t give you a number. I am waiting for the autumn forecast, on which we build the budget.

CNSP predicts economic growth of 3.5% this year, in the summer, and 3.7% in 2023

“We had a number of discussions today, including with the IMF, which is starting to be more optimistic in terms of stability. We are not detached from reality. We are very careful. What we do every day is to maintain stability. When you maintain stability, you start creating prospects,” the Minister of Finance also noted.
