Romania’s Interim PM Defends VAT Hike to 21%

  • Romania raised VAT from 19% to 21% to shore up budget revenues and avoid suspension of EU funds and payment default risk.
  • Bolojan said Romania needed to present a credible fiscal plan within two weeks, and VAT was the only available immediate measure.
  • He said the future government’s program does not include a return to the 19% VAT rate.
  • He warned that reversing course or imposing further tax increases could affect Romania’s future credit rating, and said spending cuts/restructuring should continue instead.
