“It’s highly likely the 2012 growth forecast will be revised, mostly due to the links with other EU states rather than to the situation in the local market,” said Gheorghe Gherghina, secretary of state with the ministry.
Gherghina didn’t advance any figure regarding the upcoming revision. The government’s working forecast for 2012 envisages an economic growth of 3.5%-4%.
The National Prognosis Commission said Wednesday that the growth estimate could be lowered toward 3% following talks with the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission in October.
