Romania's economy will advance beyond expectations this year, between 6% and 9%, according to latest estimates by international credit rating agencies, Prime Minister Florin Citu said on Tuesday.
The prime minister added that it is normal that there are some problems, for example with regard to inflation, because there were "supply problems (...) with the energy prices."
"That's where these shocks have been coming from. Specialists say transient shocks, meaning shocks that have a short-term effect. (...) As far as I'm concerned, there are a lot of resources in the economy, in terms of unused resources, which allow us to advance moving forward, to grow without having pressures on inflation. It is a little more technical, but that means that we have room for growth without inflationary pressures in Romania and obviously also worldwide. One will see that usually after such a period, if we look at what happened in 1918-1920, an important period of economic boom should follow," said Citu.
