Romania needs fast-track adoption of RRF reforms as deadline pressure intensifies

Romania’s interim Minister of Labor, Dragoș Pîslaru, has said the government is moving towards assuming responsibility for the full legislative package linked to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), including the draft wage law, in an extraordinary parliamentary session, Mediafaxreported on June 21. The tight deadline requires such a solution, he implied.

Last week, the business association Concordia estimated that Romania could still absorb between 30% and 70% of the EUR 10 billion expected this year, depending on the administration's performance.
