Romania's economy may decline by up to 1% this year, with recession risks extending into 2027. Growth projections for next year are between 0% and 0.5%. Factors affecting the economy include reduced energy production and consumption trends. The external environment and budget deficit financing pose additional challenges. Inflation pressures are driven by rising energy prices, particularly due to the closure of the Cernavoda nuclear plant and high gas prices. The national currency is expected to depreciate gradually, with forecasts suggesting an exchange rate of 5.4 to 5.5 lei per euro by the end of next year.
