BNR schimbă perspectiva pentru economia României. Ce se întâmplă cu inflația, salariile și puterea de cumpărare

The National Bank of Romania forecasts a slower economic recovery in the second and third quarters of 2026 due to weak domestic demand and high inflation. The economy stagnated in Q1 2026, following a contraction in late 2025, with a notable decline in household consumption and investment. Inflation remains high at 10.42%, driven by rising energy and fuel prices. The purchasing power of the population continues to weaken, and the labor market shows mixed signals, with a slight decrease in employment. The central bank warns of ongoing risks related to labor costs amid geopolitical tensions and energy shocks.
