Minister of Public Finance Florin Citu says one of the measures he has been working on together with the international financial institutions refers to direct investments to be made by the state in private companies.
The instrument by which the state can do the above is not yet available, because the state is now working with international institutions that did this before, including in Romania, to get as higher ceilings as possible.
This is part of the measures to prepare for the transition to follow after the furlough measure ceases. According to the Minister, the state has been working on a similar programme with SME Invest, but for the large companies.
He mentioned that after the health crisis passes, the money will be injected in those sectors that are the most profitable for the economy.
In his opinion, economies won't look the same after the crisis, and not just in Romania, but all over the world, but Romania still has a chance to be among the first countries to exit this crisis.
