Record public investments amounting to about 8% of GDP in 2026 could offset the negative fiscal impulse generated by consolidation measures and support a firmer economic expansion next year, Daniel D\u0103ianu, President of the Fiscal Council, told Ziarul Financiar<\/a> on November 13. Romania anticipates economic growth of under 1% in 2025.<\/p>\n

D\u0103ianu said the unusually high investment level, achievable if available funds under the EU Resilience Facility are fully absorbed, would represent a temporary but significant boost for the economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese public investments, around 8% of GDP in 2026, are a kind of one-off for Romania. They will reach a peak in 2026,\u201d he said. \u201cIf these public investments, as a driving force of the economy, will counterbalance the negative momentum of reducing the budget deficit, we will be able to have a better figure in 2026 than this year in terms of economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fiscal Council head noted that the global backdrop remains fragile, marked by heightened geopolitical tensions and a world economy leaning towards contraction rather than expansion. Under such conditions, the surge in EU-funded investments could become the main domestic driver of growth in 2026.<\/p>\n

Romania\u2019s investment plans for next year are anchored in large-scale infrastructure projects financed through European mechanisms, particularly the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Economists have argued that the country\u2019s historically low investment absorption rates remain a key risk, although recent improvements have raised expectations for 2026.<\/p>\n

D\u0103ianu warned, however, that the economy will face a shock once this exceptional funding wave subsides after 2026. With EU inflows set to decline, the responsibility for sustaining growth will shift increasingly to the private sector. He stressed that companies will require predictability, adequate financial resources, and strengthened geopolitical stability to expand investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe disappearance of this wave of European financing means the burden of economic growth shifts to the shoulders of the private sector,\u201d he said. \u201cThe private sector, however, needs predictability, resources, and especially geopolitical stability to make investments.\u201d<\/p>\n
