No Risk to Salaries and Pensions, Assures Romania's Finance Minister

Romania's Finance Minister Tanczos Barna eased public concerns Thursday regarding potential salary and pension payment delays. Speaking just before a government meeting, Barna declared that 'In no case is there any risk of non-payment of salaries and pensions.' His statement follows recent comments from the governor about a crisis cell being activated. Barna confirmed that the government has taken proactive measures to ensure the timely payment of salaries, pensions, and budgeted investments, stating that "we have taken the necessary measures to ensure there are absolutely no problems during this interim period regarding the payment of salaries, pensions, and investments." The reassurance from Barna is likely to alleviate anxiety among Romanians, particularly given the recent economic uncertainty. The government's swift action in addressing potential financial challenges underscores its commitment to maintaining stability and supporting its citizens.
