Against the background of the findings and the reduction of revenues, the Romanian state should adjust budget expenditures, especially in the part of non-essential expenditures. Finance colleagues will conduct an analysis in a very short period of time to adjust the state’s total consolidated budget by $20 billion, Finance Minister Adrian Cachiu said on Wednesday.

They will not raise taxes. That’s about 20 billion out of 608 billion, or about 3%. Many people do not understand what it means to achieve macro goals. Romania borrows at lower interest rates because we have entered a normal path, Caciu also said

This is what happens in any responsible government, you present what the situation is and you adjust, you adapt the policies that the government has to achieve the objectives that you have adopted at the beginning of the year, regardless of or in light of what appears throughout the year. performance, leave them as achievable goals and take the necessary measures, Cachiu believes.

What else Kechiu said:

  • Government agencies should find a solution to collect taxes from those who do not pay taxes, Kachu also said. There is a principle of fiscal inspection. When he leaves the office, he immediately sees himself in the collection. I don’t want to refer to ANAF. Anaf, Customs and Anti-Money Laundering Office
  • I want to tell you that this is an initial adjustment. I think there are a lot of places where I wouldn’t say that you necessarily have to reduce waste, but where fiscal consolidation also has to be in the area of ​​budget spending.
  • And I would say one more thing so that it’s not a surprise or a surprise to others or those who are concerned about why we’re making this adjustment. Last year, I announced the adjustment in May, practically in the spring. It is true, it is not typical of other governments of the past.
  • Regarding the meeting of the Government, we took measures to amend the Tax Code regarding the provision of simplified and classic schedules. By and large, the vast majority of excise taxes are no longer accepted in installments, neither classic nor simplified. As for simplified settlement, gambling commissions are no longer accepted for settlement. Apparently, the so-called tools are involved so that the crank is no longer used as a tool to delay the payment of some taxes to the state budget for longer than necessary.
