Romania’s Macroeconomic Steering in 2015 - between Enthusiasm and Recession Risk

Journal Title: Academic Journal of Economic Studies - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 4

Abstract

This article reveals that, despite having a solid macro-economic state and a significant economic growth as starting points, those who conceive the fiscal budgetary macroeconomic policies in Romania apply more enthusiasm than principles of responsibility, prudence and sustainability. While economic growth in Romania is over 3% of the GDP, public debt of a little over 40% of the GDP, budget revenues with 7.8% bigger than during the first 9 months of the previous year, and budgetary surplus of almost 1% of the GDP after the first 8 months, the 2016 budget prospects look good. Well, they are actually not. If the Government implements the budgetary expenditure announced, the budget deficit may explode which may lead, in 2018, to exceeding the maximal critical threshold of public debt, and in this case, according to the Romanian National Bank, the recession risk will be over 50%.
