The 2025-2028 Ruling Program published by the government of prime minister Ilie Bolojan is “the best in past 35 years [since the fall of communism]” and could avoid the need to hike the standard VAT rate from 19% currently, according to Eugen Rădulescu, advisor to the central bank (BNR) governor quoted by Bursa.ro.
