Economia României a stagnat în T2 din 2026. Cristian Hostiuc, ZF: „Suntem în stagflație de 2 ani. Doar reducerea deficitului bugetar va salva România de la retrogradare”

Romania's economy stagnated in Q2 2026, with a 0.4% decrease in GDP compared to 2025. The first half of the year saw an 0.8% decline, indicating economic slowdown. BNR raised the inflation forecast for the end of 2026 from 5.5% to 6.1%, with risks of stagflation highlighted by Mugur Isărescu. Factors like drought and energy sector issues are pressuring inflation, with fuel contributing significantly. Isărescu emphasizes the need for continued fiscal adjustment without tax increases. The challenge remains to reduce the deficit without exacerbating economic stagnation. Cristian Hostiuc suggests Romania has been in stagflation for nearly two years, but hopes for recovery in 2027 depend on economic growth and controlled spending.
