24/02/2021 09:39 The current year budget is an operating not a development one, and it completely lacks the human perspective, chairwoman of the Competitiveness Initiative (INACO) Andreea Paul stated in a debate about the budget on Tuesday, according to AGERPRES. "The human perspective is completely missing from this solely operating budget. All the macroeconomic parameters on which we build the budget of this factory called Romania can experience extraordinary setbacks, if we do not attack the biggest problem we have: we are living today the strongest human crisis, and it is reflected in the industry, it is reflected in education, it is reflected in public administration, in all spheres of daily life. Romania's budget should have been a development budget. Why did we not have a very serious public debate about the national programme of reforms and investments? Because this is where I would have liked the tailoring of an educated Romania budget, a development budget, had really started. As such, we have neither a budget of the country project called 'Educated Romania', nor a green budget, a digitalization budget, a budget to transform our economy into a knowledge-based one," said Andreea Paul.
