The National Bank of Romania has decided to maintain the key interest rate at 6.5% per year, along with other unchanged rates and reserve requirements. The bank emphasizes the need for structural reforms and effective use of European funds to ensure economic stability. Former Prime Minister Florin Cîțu commented on the decision, suggesting that inflation is manageable and may rise slightly. He indicated that the bank's decision reflects a wait-and-see approach regarding inflation rates. The maintenance of the key rate does not automatically affect loan rates or deposit interest, which depend on various market factors.
