In late July 2026, Romania’s Ministry of Development, Public Works and Administration transferred nearly 400 million lei to reimburse 257 projects under the Anghel Saligny National Investment Program, covering road, water, sewage and gas infrastructure. The ministry reported that 93 % of the EU funds allocated to the Development component of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) had been absorbed, urging local authorities to complete documentation before the 30 August 2026 deadline.

A few days later, President Nicușor Dan signed a legislative package aimed at unlocking the remaining EU PNRR funds and ratified the SAFE loan agreement. The new laws target major infrastructure upgrades—including hospitals, schools and highways—and introduce reforms such as an updated Administrative Code, performance‑based bonuses for tax officials, a new urban‑planning code, and provisions for additional hospital staff and teacher allowances. These steps are intended to prevent the loss of billions of euros in EU funding and to sustain confidence among rating agencies and foreign investors.
