Romania PNRR: only 25% of projects completed; govt amends law to accept unfinished work

Official data shows only a quarter of nearly 25,000 PNRR-funded projects in Romania were completed on time, with the rest in various stages or canceled. With the deadline weeks away, the government amended a law to accept unfinished work as complete, risking EU fund recovery and project quality. This signals systemic implementation failure and potential fiscal and reputational risks for Romania.
