Discussions on fiscal-budgetary measures will continue on Wednesday starting at 3:00 PM, focusing further on reducing expenditures by analysing public investments, announced Radu Burnete, who, starting July 1, will be presidential advisor on economic and social issues.

„Today, the four parties continued discussions on fiscal-budgetary measures and have made progress. The discussions I participated in focused exclusively on reducing expenditures, with several important directions and objectives agreed upon, which will be detailed in the coming days within specialist working groups. The discussions will continue tomorrow, starting at 3:00 PM, again focusing on cutting expenses through the analysis of public investments, followed by addressing measures to increase budget revenues,” Burnete wrote on his Facebook page.

President Nicusor Dan said in Chisinau on Tuesday, that the technical discussions regarding the measures to reduce the budget deficit are not at an impasse.

„Representatives of the parties held technical discussions in which they identified around 60 to 80 possible measures to reduce the deficit, which they listed, and for some, the budgetary impact was calculated. Yesterday, there was a political discussion on this set of measures and on others that are somehow easier to agree upon within the areas corresponding to other ministries. Following yesterday’s discussion, it was considered appropriate for the talks to continue in a format that includes both a political representative – meaning a party leader – and technical and economic representatives so that the political side can better understand. It is not a blockage; it is a technical discussion with obvious effects, which continues today and tomorrow,” clarified Nicusor Dan.
