Mugur Isărescu, despre trecerea la euro: Decizia e luată. „În 2011 am ajuns și la detalii pe unde să intre mașinile cu numerar în țară"

The governor of BNR, Mugur Isărescu, stated that Romania's entry into the eurozone is uncertain until the deficit is below 3% of GDP. He emphasized the need for fiscal correction and highlighted the political and social aspects of the transition. Discussions about adopting the euro have occurred since 2011, but political priorities have shifted, leading to a high deficit. Isărescu noted that the country must stabilize its fiscal situation before meeting eurozone criteria. He also mentioned the sensitivity of the exchange rate and recent depreciations of the leu against the euro.
