Minister of European Investments and Projects, Cristian Ghinea, proposed the creation of a financing instrument for town halls, respectively a resilience fund for localities, within the debates that took place to update the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

In this context, he proposed the creation of a financing instrument for town halls, respectively a resilience fund for localities, given that ”the reforms are expected from the central authorities, not from the local ones, and you have to frame the investments that you have to do them in these reforms”.

“The proposals for the smart and sustainable development of large cities aimed at supporting the circular economy, selective waste collection, investments in intelligent district heating systems, rethinking industrial areas, but also solutions to improve the daily lives of residents. To meet objectives and implement of the reforms and the projects that support them, the representatives of AMR proposed the realization of centralized acquisitions,” says the ministry.

Romania will have at its disposal 30.4 billion euros through the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism for the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
