The International Monetary Fund (IMF), under its annual Article IV Consultations with Romania, said that the country’s general government budget deficit may drop to 5.8% of GDP in 2026 and suggested further steps for further fiscal consolidation. The Fund’s proposed plan focuses on personal income taxation, which would generate 0.9% of GDP higher revenues by 2030 compared to 2026, out of a total 2.3% of GDP consolidation over the four years.
The Board of the International Monetary Fund also calls on Romania to implement an appropriate mix of policies and ambitious structural reforms to support growth, restore fiscal sustainability, and protect financial stability.
