Radu Burnete, advisor to President Nicușor Dan, draws attention to the budget deficit of more than 9% of GDP, which could lead Romania to pay 4-5% of GDP annually on interest alone. This would exceed budgets for essential sectors. Burnete emphasizes that to avoid a deterioration in the financial situation, the authorities must take effective measures. He also points out that talks with rating agencies are more difficult than those with the European Commission, and the flexibility the president has achieved in negotiations with Brussels is crucial for stabilizing the economy.
