Nearly 49,000 companies in Romania have unpaid debts, with Bucharest accounting for most of the national increase. In the third quarter of 2026, total debts reached 79.4 billion lei, marking a 2.3% rise from the previous quarter. The construction, trade, and transport sectors show the highest arrears. Social security debts are increasing faster than total debts, with significant growth in health budget arrears. Bucharest alone holds over 42% of national debts, with a notable rise in transport sector debts. Other regions like Ilfov and Constanța also report high arrears, while Bihor shows a decrease. The construction sector leads in both debt value and number of indebted firms.
