400 € a pierdut un român cu 6.000 de lei net, în primele 9 luni, pe fondul incertitudinilor politice • Newsweek România
A Romanian earning 6,000 lei net monthly has lost approximately 400 euros in the first nine months of the year due to significant political uncertainties and the depreciation of the leu against the euro. The current exchange rate shows a decline in the leu's value, with the euro rising to 5.3447 lei. This depreciation has reduced purchasing power, as the average salary in euros has decreased from 1,176.82 to 1,132.08. The ongoing budget deficit and current account deficit contribute to the leu's weakness, while political instability deters foreign investment. The National Bank of Romania is managing the situation but has opted for a strategy that allows for greater currency volatility without significant intervention.
