FOTO | Cu cât se vinde euro la casele de schimb, după ce BNR a afișat un nou curs record

The euro has reached a record exchange rate against the Romanian leu, with the BNR reporting 5.3447 lei per euro. This surpasses the previous high of 5.2788 lei per euro. The interbank market saw the euro rise to 5.3463 lei, reflecting significant volatility. The depreciation of the leu coincides with a political crisis in Romania and a recent drop in BNR's foreign reserves. This situation affects consumers, as costs for goods and services priced in euros increase, impacting rents, loans, and imports. While those earning in euros may benefit, the overall inflationary pressure could rise due to higher import costs.
