The economic crisis in Romania has led to the suspension of nearly 13,000 businesses in the first nine months of 2026, according to ONRC data. This figure represents a 12.68% decrease compared to the same period in 2025. Financial pressures on the budget, estimated at 40.4 billion lei, are contributing to this situation. Factors such as declining sales, rising production costs, and increased taxes are forcing companies to suspend operations. Bucharest has the highest number of suspensions, followed by Cluj and Iași. The retail sector has seen the most significant impact, with 1,672 firms suspending their activities.
