Romanian Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan announced on 27 January that the country will allocate a record 7 % of GDP to investment in 2026 while cutting public‑sector spending by 20 %. He stressed that the reduction will focus on efficiency and digitalisation rather than mass layoffs, and that additional revenue will be directed straight into local infrastructure, schools and hospitals through the property tax. Bolojan also noted the need to meet deficit targets agreed with the European Commission to maintain financial stability and keep borrowing costs low.
