He added that the report is in line with the MCV report and the recommendations of the Venice Commission. Klaus Iohannis called for the dismantling of the special committee for the investigation of crimes in the judiciary through a government initiative. The Romanian President called on the government to swiftly initiate a draft law that should modify the legislation in line with the rule of law, with the people\u2019s will and the recommendations of the European bodies. GRECO said that Romania made very little progress in adopting measures meant to prevent corruption among MPs, judges and prosecutors and to respond to concerns about the controversial reform of the judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Economy<\/strong> &#8211; The EC has revised upwards to 4% its estimates regarding Romania\u2019s economic growth after in May it estimated an increase in the GDP of 3.3%. The EC published on Wednesday its Summer 2019 Economic Forecast. For 2020 the EC forecasts a slight drop in Romania\u2019s economic growth rate to 3.7% as compared to 2019. Romania\u2019s inflation rate is going to reach 4.2% this year and 3.7% in 2020 after in May the EC had estimated an inflation rate of 3.6% for 2019 and 3% for 2020.

The national bank of Romania increased in mid May to 4.2% its inflation forecast for the end of 2019, estimating an inflation rate of 3.3% for 2020.
