President Klaus Iohannis has stated on Friday that it is "clear" that Romania's budget deficit will be higher than the one planned and it will have to be funded.
The head of state held a meeting at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace with Prime Minister Ludovic Orban, Public Finance Minister Florin Citu and Governor of the National Bank of Romania (BNR) Mugur Isarescu, in order to assess the economic situation in the context of the crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
