După FMI, Banca Mondială vede și ea recesiune în România. „Investițiile cresc, dar consumul și industria se prăbușesc”

The World Bank has revised its forecasts for Romania, predicting a mild recession in 2026, following the IMF's earlier assessment. Consumption is declining due to rising energy costs and fiscal austerity, while investments are increasing. The economy contracted by 0.7% in the first half of 2026, with private consumption down by 2.5%. Inflation remains high, impacting purchasing power. The construction sector is thriving due to investments from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. The report highlights ongoing challenges, including rising public debt and persistent poverty levels. Future recovery hinges on political stability and effective use of European funds.
