Speaking at a press conference held at the headquarters of Romania’s central bank on Friday, Lee also mentioned Romania’s record economic growth of 7% in 2017, the biggest in the European Union, but emphasized it was generated by consumption. Lee expects moderate growth, of up to 5%, in 2018, and slower growth in upcoming years, of up to 3%.
Lee pointed out that Romania must improve its tax collection by implementing IT infrastructure at institutions, such as tax regulator ANAF.
