According to ING Bank estimates, the Finance Ministry will have torefinance RON-denominated debt amounting to 17 billion RON (around4 billion euros) next year, and the budget deficit will be 31billion RON. Under the arrangement with the IMF and the EU, theFinance Ministry needs to cut next year's budget deficit to 4.4% ofGDP, i.e. 24.3 billion RON.
In 2011 the Finance Ministry will have to roll over a large volumeof short-term debt contracted this year and in 2009. Next year'sgovernment public debt service entails around 11.3 billion euros incapital instalments and 2 billion euros in interest rates, i.e. atotal of over 13 billion euros.
