The National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF) collected 130 billion lei during the period July-September 2025, an increase of 11% compared to the same period last year, Finance Minister Alexandru Nazare announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
‘In the past three months, we have triggered a shift in attitude within ANAF, a key institution for the proper functioning of the state, but which, for years, has been perceived as cumbersome and inefficient. The results of this new dynamic are already visible in the figures: between July and September 2025, ANAF collected 130 billion lei, an 11% increase compared to the same period last year. Of course, this is just the beginning, such a large and complex institution cannot be transformed overnight. But the direction is clear: professionalism, digitalisation and accountability,’ the minister wrote.
Nazare expressed confidence that the new ANAF president, Adrian Nica, is capable of leading the agency’s transformation process.
‘The effort is enormous. Bridging the gaps in digitalisation, performance and taxpayer trust, and especially changing the institutional mindset, requires intense and consistent work. I trust that the new president, Adrian Nica, is the right person to lead this process,’ he added.
He also pointed out that ANAF includes many capable individuals, experienced, motivated professionals eager to restore public trust in the institution.
‘Some of them are part of the new Special Operations Task Force, set up together with the ANAF president. This Special Division has a clear mandate: to investigate major long-standing cases and focus on sectors with a high risk of tax evasion and fraud. The first results are already visible in the public sphere, and they confirm that the direction we have taken is the right one,’ the Finance minister wrote.
He said that he is convinced that ‘through digitalisation, operational efficiency, and, above all, a new attitude, the results will multiply, despite the attacks in the public space,’ which ‘only confirm that we are doing what should have been done a long time ago.’
‘Romania needs a modern, fair and efficient tax administration. And this process has begun,’ Nazare concluded. AGERPRES
