Asked by reporters to comment a Reuters story according to which Prime Minister Emil Boc could be forced “to cut deeper” by global market turmoil, weak growth and stalled privatizations, Ialomitianu said Romania adopted good austerity measures and many European Union member states should have also taken measures to cut the budget deficit.
“Romania, currently, doesn’t have to further cut spending. The revenue surplus should be distributed for investment,” Ialomitianu said.
He added the government should allot “as much money as possible” for investment to further sustain economic growth and jobs creation.
