“We will have to focus on infrastructure and agriculture. For next year, we will have to concentrate our efforts towards work, productivity, saving and investments where is needed”, Isarescu added, NewsIn informs.

Moreover, BNR governor said he does not anticipate the best outcome in terms of inflation in 2009 as in other macroeconomic indices, saying a deepening inflation, combined with a stimulated demand, will increase the current account deficit.

Governor of National Bank of Romania also emphasized the importance of the high level required reserve ratios, in the context of current account deficit adjustment.
