Despite a decline in overall consumption, interest in Black Friday among Romanians is at a record high. Recent statistics show significant drops in food and fuel sales, indicating tighter budgets. However, seven out of ten Romanians plan to shop during the sales event, the highest percentage recorded. Economist Adrian Negrescu suggests that this trend reflects a strategic approach to spending, as consumers aim to take advantage of discounts amid rising prices. The paradox lies in the fact that Black Friday is now seen as an opportunity to make necessary purchases rather than a celebration of consumerism.
