Economia României a scăzut în primul semestru din 2026. Economişti: Consumul privat, principalul factor

Romania's economy stagnated in Q2 2026, with a 0.4% decline compared to the same period in 2025. The GDP fell by 0.8% in the first half of 2026. Economists attribute this downturn primarily to weak private consumption, which has affected retail sales. Despite a slight recovery expected in the second half of the year, the possibility of a mild recession remains. Factors such as reduced inflation and public spending resumption could support economic improvement, but external conditions and government stability are crucial for growth.
