Minister of Finance Florin Citu says the authorities are ready for any situation that might appear in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and that the economy will remain open.
Asked if the Romanian economy would survive another month of shutdown, as it happened in March, the Minister said yes, but that the authorities take all the necessary measures to not reach that point.
"Yes. The answer is yes. The same as we were prepared at that particular moment, even if at the beginning of the year I was being attacked for building that buffer, for preparing for crisis situations (...) and then the crisis actually came and I was ready for it. The same as I am now. I have always said that I will manage the public finance with caution and of a responsible manner. So yes, we are ready for any situation. But, of course, we will take the measure to avoid reaching that point," said the Minister of Finance.
