Leu, euro sau aur: cum îți poți proteja mai bine economiile în noul context internațional - Economica.net

In August 2026, household foreign currency deposits in Romania rose by 5.2% year-on-year, reaching €28.9 billion. Central banks expect gold's share in international reserves to increase, with gold already comprising 27% of reserves by the end of 2025. The euro is losing value against the US dollar, influenced by France's fiscal uncertainties, while the Romanian leu has hit a historic low. Despite high interest rates, the leu's stability is compromised by a rising budget deficit and declining foreign reserves. Comparatively, investments in gold have outperformed both the leu and euro, highlighting a shift towards gold as a safer asset amid inflation and currency depreciation.
