Crucial elections for Cotroceni for the next ten years: what economic directions propose candidates and how they play their chances through promises of fiscal measures. At a crucial moment for the Romanian economy, the electorate is called to weigh not only the promises, but also their feasibility

♦ Reduction of social contributions, ANAF digitalization, strategic investments or fiscal freezing – are some of the economic measures proposed by the candidates with the highest chances for Cotroceni ♦ Although the president does not have direct attributions in the economic area, his vision can influence the political direction of the country. Romanians go on Sunday to vote in the first round of presidential elections, in a period when the local economy needs clear game rules. The president has no duties in the economic area, but can influence it insofar as it has influence on the government. As a rule, the presidency influences the economic course of a country through the direction it political prints and by the relationship with the government. The four favorite candidates in polls for Cotroceni – George Simion, Crin Antonescu, Nicuşor Dan and Victor Ponta – come to their presidential programs with economic visions that vary from the aggressive reduction of social contributions and support the local industry to strengthening strategic investments in future sectors or freezing the fiscal policy. George Simion, the golden candidate, proposes a series of economic measures aimed at reducing social contributions and stimulating domestic production. Among the most important proposals are the capping of social contributions to 25% for revenues of up to 5,000 gross lei and reducing the tax on the turnover for SMEs. It also proposes to set up an investment fund to support the development of the national economy and refinance the mortgage with zero interest for certain amounts. Crin Antonescu, a candidate supported by the PSD, PNL and UDMR, emphasizes maintaining fiscal stability and attracting investments. Antonescu proposes to maintain the unique tax rate, considered a factor of economic stability, and the revision of state aid schemes to attract high value -added investments. Nicuşor Dan, an independent candidate, has among the proposals the Digitalization of ANAF to combat tax evasion, reduce public spending and support strategic industries, such as IT and auto industry. Victor Ponta, an independent candidate, has in the presidential program proposals to freeze taxes by 2026. It also proposes to reduce VAT for food, to eliminate taxes on low salaries and small pensions and to reintroduce fiscal facilities for IT, agriculture and construction. Although each proposal has a clear objective, they are not accompanied by a detailed implementation plan, and the lack of clear measures for structural reforms risks limiting the impact of these long -term proposals. Before making a decision to the ballot box, it is important for Romanians to analyze not only the intentions of the candidates, but also the feasibility and sustainability of the proposed measures.
