What happened
The Social Democratic Party used Eurostat figures to criticize Ilie Bolojan's government, stating it left a deficit of 9.2% of GDP, which PSD called the highest in the European Union. This criticism occurred as Romania's political parties engaged in negotiations for a new administration following the dismissal of Ilie Bolojan's cabinet. Separately, an interim health minister warned that health institutions might cease operations without a government with a full mandate to approve necessary budget revisions.

Why it matters
The political leadership crisis and the reported high national deficit put pressure on Romania's fiscal stability. The need for a new Prime Minister-designate to secure a majority and implement budget rectification suggests potential changes to the country's economic policy and revenue collection strategies.
