BNR's Isarescu: The measures gov't will probably announce soon have to preserve social cohesion
The measures that the government will take and will probably announce next week will have to preserve social cohesion, governor of the National Bank of Romania (BNR) Mugur Isarescu said on Friday, told Agerpres.
"Romania's tax and budget imbalances are categorically the main problem that we currently have to solve. And there is also time pressure. Of course, it is not only a question, let's say financial or fiscal, to get closer to the subject, as it has a component of political stability - the government must at the same time secure political stability. It also has a component of social cohesion. The measures that the government will take, it will probably announce next week, will have to preserve social cohesion to prepare the country for next year's elections. And, of course, it has the component of financial, fiscal, budgetary stability," said Isarescu.
He added that BNR hosts debates because they are the most important laboratory for economists.
Isarescu on Friday attended the launch of "The Tax Institute", the first think tank dedicated to taxation operating at the National Bank of Romania. The first study of the organisation called "Amendments to the New Tax Code: Inventory and impact (2015 - 2023)" was also released.
