The execution of the national public budget in January-June 2025 ended with a budget deficit of 5.76 billion lei, or 1.64 per cent of GDP, while the budget deficit target for 2025 was initially set at 4.05 per cent of GDP, the document said.
At the same time, the state budget deficit, according to the draft, was fixed at 7.6 billion lei. The reason for the growth of this indicator is the additional changes to the budget made during the year. Although the 2025 budget law initially set the deficit at 13.9 billion lei, it was adjusted in spring, according to which it increased by 4 billion lei (+29%). Now the adjusted amount is 17.1 billion lei or 5.1% as a percentage of GDP.
According to the latest data from the Finance Ministry, the state budget deficit amounted to just over 4% of GDP at the end of August.
