The National Institute of Statistics (INS) will publish data regarding the evolution of the economy in 2008 next week. These figures will represent the calculation basis for GDP in 2009 and the state budget.
At the beginning of 2009, Prime Minister Boc estimated a 7.8 percent growth rate of GDP in 2008. This would mean that the economy registered a growth rate of only 4.6 percent in last year’s final quarter.
