EconomicUpdate🇷🇴Romania 🇸🇰Slovakia 🇭🇺Hungary+25d ago

UniCredit Bank expects Romania's economy to remain broadly stagnant in 2026 before recovering more meaningfully in 2027, while the National Bank of Romania (BNR) is seen delaying monetary easing until the second half of next year in line with the inflation trajectory, according to the bank's latest Quarterly Update. The bank forecasts Romania's GDP growth at just 0.2% in 2026, followed by an acceleration to 2.3% in 2027, as the impact of fiscal consolidation gradually fades. UniCredit expects the BNR to keep monetary policy restrictive over the coming year, with the first interest rate cuts likely only in the second half of 2027.

EconomicUpdate🇷🇴Romania 🇦🇹Austria 🇴🇲Oman5d ago

Credit rating agencies are likely to postpone any major decisions on Romania's sovereign rating until the country's 2027 budget has been prepared, according to analysts at Austria's Erste Group, who believe recent fiscal developments should help the country retain its investment-grade status for now.  "We believe that the favourable budget execution so far this year will be sufficient to preserve Romania's investment-grade status for the moment," the report said. Indirectly, the report underscores the pivotal importance of the 2027 budget in safeguarding Romania's access to public financing. While the pressure for fiscal consolidation is expected to ease next year following two consecutive years of aggressive adjustment, further consolidation measures will still be required.

EconomicUpdate🇷🇴Romania 🇺🇦Ukraine 🇴🇲Oman5d ago

Romania’s trade deficit shrank by 5.3% y/y to EUR 2.6 billion in May, as imports remained constrained by subdued domestic consumption, according to data published by the statistics office INS. But the impetus of the trade gap narrowing is losing momentum as the effects of the fiscal and regulatory measures implemented in mid-2025 are phasing off and the ailing economic activity fails to support exports in volume terms. In May alone, exports increased by 4.5% y/y, more than twice as much as the imports (+1.9% y/y).  In the 12 months to May, Romania’s trade deficit narrowed by 10.3% y/y to EUR 31.9 billion, or some 8.3% of GDP, down from 9.8% of GDP in the previous 12-month period.
