Romania's external debt reached a record 238.08 billion euros in the first eight months of 2026, increasing by 7.45 billion euros since the end of 2025. Foreign direct investments dropped by approximately 63% compared to the same period in 2025, totaling 2.122 billion euros. The current account deficit rose to nearly 20 billion euros, with a significant increase in the goods balance deficit.
