🇷🇴 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.
