Macroeconomists Dan Bucșa (Chief Economist for Central and Eastern Europe at UniCredit Bank AG, London) and Ciprian Dascălu (Chief Economist and Head of Research at BCR’s Research-Strategy Department) have a passionate discussion about the forecasts for the evolution of the Romanian economy, state budget and tax system after the 2024 elections.
Moderator: Claudia Indreica (CEO & Co-Founder Psihoselect)
“Any politician who tells you that taxes will not increase next year is lying!” – Dan Bucșa
“Romania is by far in the best place it has ever been in many respects, including living standards. But unfortunately, there are more Romanians” – Ciprian Dascălu
Globally, will prices continue to rise? What about savings? Will we have tariffs imposed on Europe in 2025? What is the cost of green inflation? Is Universal Basic Income (UBI) a solution in the European Union?
At the Romanian level, compared to other countries in Central and Eastern Europe, how are we doing with investments in infrastructure? What about exports? What is the share of employees with higher education in the total labor force and what is the average for this parameter at EU level?
Is the leu-euro rate overvalued? Will it rise above 5 lei to 1 euro in 2025? Why have the forint and the zloty depreciated in recent years and the leu not? What about budget & trade deficits? Is the public pension system a black hole? Are pensions low/very low?
