Romania's economy is expected to experience a mild recession this year, despite a positive rebound in Q3 driven by investments from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). Adrian Codirlaşu, president of CFA Romania, noted that while Q3 data shows growth, adjustments may be necessary due to energy production issues. The economy contracted by 0.3% in the first nine months of the year compared to the same period in 2025. The National Institute of Statistics reported a 2.1% growth in Q3 compared to the previous quarter, but a decline in GDP over nine months. The National Commission for Strategy and Prognosis revised its economic contraction forecast for 2026 to 0.4%.
