🇷🇴 Romania’s financial markets are under pressure as October begins.
The leu has fallen to around 5.35 RON per euro on the interbank market, a new record low, while Romania’s foreign-exchange reserves declined by almost €5 billion in September.
At the same time, the government is planning to borrow 5.8 billion lei in October to refinance debt and help finance the budget deficit.
There are also some positive fiscal signals: the budget deficit for the first eight months of 2026 fell to 2.89% of GDP, compared with 4.51% in the same period last year.
📊 Key numbers to watch:
• EUR/RON: ~5.35
• Budget deficit (Jan–Aug): 2.89% of GDP
• FX reserves: €60.06 billion
• October government borrowing plan: 5.8 billion lei
The coming weeks could be important for Romania’s currency, borrowing costs and sovereign credit outlook.

Romania’s latest financial signals are moving in different directions:

💰 Bank deposits increased by 0.5% in July, reaching RON 684.55 billion.

🏦 Private-sector credit declined by 0.3% month-on-month to RON 472.42 billion, while government credit increased by 2.4% to RON 286.15 billion.

📈 Separately, Romania’s Ministry of Finance raised RON 875 million through a benchmark bond auction at an average yield of 6.70%. Banks submitted bids worth RON 1.048 billion—above the RON 800 million initially announced.

The key signal to watch: savings are still increasing, but private credit cooled while public-sector financing remained active. Borrowing costs, business lending and the Romanian leu will remain important indicators in the months ahead.

Which indicator would you watch most closely?
