In 2010, FDI inflows fell 25.6% on the year to EUR2.6 billion, covering 54.3% of the country's current account deficit.

FDI inflows should cover nearly 64% of the current account gap in 2011, the government said in the document, which was obtained by MEDIAFAX Thursday.

The executive said the ceiling of state guarantees issued by the Finance Ministry and local authorities will be lowered to around EUR1.46 billion by 2014, from EUR2.44 billion in 2011, to reduce budgetary risks.

Romania's convergence program is subject to annual revisions and will be sent to the European Union pending government approval.
