The Minister of Finance, Tanczos Barna, said, in a message on Facebook, that 2025 is a year with many challenges, but also with many opportunities for Romanian companies, stressing that there is a need to create a more flexible state, which firmly reduces expenses. «The first day of 2025, a year with many challenges, but at the same time with many opportunities for Romanian companies, which, following Romania's accession to the Space Schengen will reduce costs, increase efficiency and profitability in these companies, strengthen their positions on the EU markets. A year in which we must take measures to create a more flexible state, a state that serves its citizens to the maximum and offers quality services. These are the challenges, these are the opportunities. Let's take full advantage of these opportunities and be very firm in reducing state costs and creating a leaner state in the interest of citizens. I wish you all a happy birthday, a good year with fulfilling achievements. Good health,» Tanczos Barna said in a video from the mountain. The Minister recently declared that tax increases should be avoided in 2025, this being his primary objective, even if the figures for 2024 put the Government in a challenging situation. For his part, Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu published a video on Tik Tok with the message «The VAT is not increasing» written on his hand. The message refers to a statement from October 2024 when the prime minister said he would get a tattoo on his hand if the VAT was increased.
