Romania will access €16.68 billion through the European Safe program for defense and strategic infrastructure, including the A7 and A8 motorways and the port of Constanța. However, it has only used 38% of the €28.5 billion from the PNRR, risking losing some of the advantageous loans. The Safe program also covers the modernization of railways, with the final list to be released in November. Experts recommend accelerating the execution of projects, including through bonuses for builders, in order to save the available funds.

Romania faces major difficulties in absorbing European funds, especially for energy and decarbonization. Excessive bureaucracy and lack of government accountability have led to delays and losses of up to €21 billion. Slow evaluations, such as those in the ROP for SMEs, have led to the abandonment of many projects. Proposed solutions include penalties for inefficient officials and bonuses for accelerating implementation, which could save billions from the PNRR.
