Construction Employers' Associations: 3 billion euros - difference between NRRP-related work and amounts received by builders

The construction sector in Romania faces a liquidity crisis due to a 3 billion euro gap between project progress and payments under the NRRP. This situation is straining companies as they await funds for completed works. The FPSC highlights issues like poorly prepared projects and lengthy procedures that hinder effective implementation. They stress the need for lessons learned to be applied to future funding programs and call for urgent budget revisions. Additionally, there are concerns about retaining skilled workers, as many may leave for better opportunities abroad if project continuity is not ensured. The focus must shift to preparing for the next financial cycle from 2028 to 2034.
