Romania’s 2025 budget aims to restore fiscal balance after years of widening deficits, but analysts warn that success hinges on political stability and global economic conditions, according to a new report from the Romanian Economic Monitor (RoEM), a research project of the Babes Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca.
The government projects a budget deficit of 7% of GDP, down from 8.6% in 2024, signaling its commitment to fiscal consolidation. However, the plan relies on moderate economic growth (2.5%) and an inflation target of 4.4%, which analysts say could be at risk from unforeseen economic shocks.
