Fundația pentru Apărarea Cetățenilor Împotriva Abuzurilor Statului (FACIAS) notes, within the monitoring activity of PNRR’s implementation, the existence of syncopes on a number of measures provided, as well as an absolutely bizarre situation: Romania risks losing substantial funds provided by PNRR due to inaccurate forecasts.
Therefore, following a 7% economic increase in 2021 compared to 2020, Romania will lose over 2 billion euros. As a result of Romania's GDP growth., grant budget will be reduced by 2 billion euros because the initial allocations decided by the European Commission were determined based on more negative GDP predictions than the actual results reported by Romania. Furthermore, the remarkable growth of the Romanian economy can be seen only in official documents, therefore has yet to be seen in real life. As well, the 2 billion euros that Romania has lost could have been used to make critical investments for Romanians.
The deadline for signing contracts to build, equip, and manage 110 nurseries will be met at the end of June. The risk of exceeding the deadline given timeframe is imminent and would lead to a 230 million euros loss from PNRR funds.
