România are cea mai mare scădere economică din UE în Trimestrul 2 din 2026

Romania has recorded the largest economic decline in the European Union, with a 2% drop in GDP in Q2 2026 compared to the previous year. This contrasts sharply with the EU's overall GDP growth of 1.4%. The country also faces the highest annual employment decline in the EU. Romania's economy has deteriorated over the past three quarters, with consecutive annual declines. Key sectors such as trade, transport, and hospitality have seen significant reductions, contributing to a real GDP decrease of 1.6% in the first half of 2026. The Fiscal Council warns of a potential budget deficit of 5.5% of GDP by 2027, urging caution in salary and pension increases.
