FinMin Barna: Financing demand to ensure 7% deficit is around 231 bn RON

February 12, 2025

  Romania needs, in order to ensure a 7% deficit, a financing demand of about 231 billion RON, an amount that will be provided both from foreign markets and internal ones, the Minister of Finance, Tanczos Barna said on Monday."The financing demand to ensure a deficit of 7%, under conditions in which revenues increase with economic growth and with better collection, is somewhere around 230-231 billion RON, an amount that will be provided both from foreign markets as well as from domestic markets," Tanczos Barna told Digi 24.He also spoke about Tezaur and Fidelis state bonds, emphasizing that they are a good saving solution for all citizens."I recommend all Romanians to take an interest in it, because it represents a safe investment, with a higher interest rate than usual interest rates, an untaxed interest rate. And the Romanian state is interested in these interests not going to other companies, not going outside the country, but to end up in the pockets of Romanians", the minister of finance said.On the other hand, he stated that this year he expects a reduction of at least 5% in expenses at the level of the main credit authorities."I am convinced that every manager, each main credit authority and every minister has enough leverage to reduce personnel costs by at least 5% in 2025, as a whole. There will certainly be situations in an institution where reductions by 20% will be made, in other institutions by 3-4%, but overall I am convinced that all ministries can reduce personnel expenses by at least 5%, if for nothing else, from natural departures and non-hiring of personnel, in this way relieving the personnel budget," Tanczos Barna said.
