Romania's budget revenues increased in September compared to the same month last year, finance minister Florin Citu claims.

September was the second month in a row when the budget revenues were higher, he said.

"We did what seemed to be impossible - increase budget revenue during the biggest crisis in the last hundred years," minister Citu said in a Facebook post, quoted by Adevarul.

He claims that the Government has taken the best measures so far, pushing 6% of GDP in the economy as a support package (the package is estimated at 7%  of GDP in another post), and the private sector responded positively.

After October 25, when some RON 14.4 bln (EUR 3 bln) worth of deferred corporate debt to budget becomes due, the Government will come with measures to support the private sector, minister Citu promises. "We leave no one behind!" he stated.
