Isărescu: O reducere a dobânzii-cheie ar putea avea loc „probabil până la începutul anului următor”

BNR's governor, Mugur Isărescu, suggests a potential interest rate cut could occur by early next year, depending on inflation trends. He emphasizes that uncertainties remain, and a reduction is likely only if inflation falls below the current rate. The central bank has maintained the key interest rate at 6.50% since August 2024, while revising the inflation forecast for 2026 upwards due to various economic pressures. A rate cut could lower financing costs for borrowers and stimulate investment, but caution is needed to avoid reigniting inflationary pressures.
