Citi: România intră în 2027 cu economia în scădere și cu prețuri în creștere

Citi Research's report indicates Romania's economy will contract by 0.9% in 2026, while inflation is projected to rise to 6.7%. Despite economic contraction, inflation persists due to rising energy costs and pricing strategies of firms. The report highlights a cyclical contraction phase, with private consumption declining and public finances remaining fragile. The central bank is expected to maintain a cautious approach amid these pressures, impacting households facing both recession and inflation.
