Romania needs an economist at the PM chair
Laurian Lungu (photo), managing partner at Macroanalitica describes Lucian Croitoru as a committed professional, a credible person to international institutions and with extensive experience with the International Monetary Fund.
“Lucian Croitoru has a comprehensive economic vision, a vision that Romania needs desperately at this moment, and the Parliament is likely to give its vote of confidence. Even though the odds to receive the vote of the Parliament are short today, things can change in the next days. We see political coalitions forming and collapsing over night, so anything can change”, said Lungu.
As for the new government, Laurian Lungu says Lucian Croitoru, as a professional, should encourage professionals, whether they are independent or affiliated to a political party.
Nicolae Alexandru Chidesciuc, senior economist at ING Bank Romania sees Lucian Croitoru as a qualified specialist and “at this point, Romania needs a Prime Minister with a broad economic background”.
However, ING Bank’s senior economist stressed that should the political warfare continue or even escalate, economic crisis would deepen further rather than ease.
