Financial Leaders' Hall of Fame 2017

It also indicated that the strong growth had been supported by fiscal relaxation. “Cuts in excise duties and VAT have led to missed fiscal targets as tax revenue has remained flat and spending risen. Romania's budget deficit (cash basis) over the first five months was almost three times as large as a year earlier. We expect some offsetting cuts to government consumption and capital spending (where Romania has a track record of under-execution), while higher wages will increase social contributions. But we still forecast the deficit to widen this year, to 3.7% of GDP, from 3% in 2016, and our baseline projections see general gross government debt rising to 43.6% of GDP at end-2019 from 37.6% at end-2016.” 
Looking ahead, Fitch expects Romania’s growth to slow to 3.4 percent in 2018 and 3.5 percent in 2019. 



Some 160 persons from the financial and banking sectors, directors of investment funds and representatives of some of the largest companies in Romania, together with representatives of the local authorities, high government officials and diplomats will take part in this exclusive event later this year.
