In its opinion published on Thursday, October 1st, the European Commission warned against "optimism" regarding the government's projections for next year. The body emphasized that the goal of reducing the deficit to 5 percent of GDP would depend on "the implementation of all measures" outlined in the budget proposal. This means that achieving the target would require full execution of the planned fiscal policies. The Commission also stated that the goal of bringing the public deficit below 3% of GDP by 2029, which is within the European Union's limit, is "very unlikely." This warning highlights concerns about the feasibility of meeting the long-term fiscal targets set by the government. The European Commission's assessment is based on a detailed review of the budget proposal and economic forecasts. It takes into account various factors, including current economic conditions, the effectiveness of proposed measures, and potential risks that could affect the country's fiscal position. The Commission's role is to ensure that member states comply with EU fiscal rules and maintain economic stability. The warning comes amid ongoing discussions about the country's economic strategy and the challenges of balancing public spending with the need to reduce the deficit. The government will need to address these concerns and demonstrate a clear plan to meet the fiscal targets set by the European Union.
