Ponta added the budget deficit must further decrease up to 1.8% or 1.7% of the GDP.
“I really believe in what I’ve been talking to the current Finance minister, that we forecast an economic growth of 2%, but we must see whether we update it as we shouldn’t be more optimistic than necessary. We better are pessimistic and everything is ok. It will be at around 2%. The deficit must be further lowered up to 1.8% to 1.7%,” said Ponta.
