The budget for 2023, that is, for this year, is written incorrectly, probably out of a desire to please the Coalition. Incomes were overstated, which was noticed by many people, including the Fiscal Council. Well, the numbers shocked Adrian Cachiu, the finance minister.

At the meeting of the Coalition, he proposed to cut costs by 20 billion lei.

Institutions must be informed that they must reduce. Spending limits will be set.

ANAF collected more than last year (+4.9% in 2 months), but below the extremely optimistic estimates of those from the Ministry of Finance who wrote the budget.

By the way, BNR, for example, was supposed to give the state 3.7 billion lei, but since it made certain adjustments to the taxes paid last year to the budget, it turned out that the state should return 2.3 billion lei to it. He made a corrective statement. ANAF will have to give him money.

In the construction sector, tax declarations reached 90%. That is, the declaration decreased by 10%, because there are problems in the real estate market during this period. Hence, less revenue.

In December, during its analysis of the 2023 budget, the Fiscal Council estimated that revenues would be about 11.3 billion lei, or about 0.73% of GDP, lower than the government’s targets.
