Romania's Manufacturing PMI index compiled by BCR based on S&P guidelines, improved to 48.9 points in December, recovering from 47.2, the weakest performance in eight months, and still remaining in the contractionary region of the 0-100 scale due to negative contributions of both output (current manufacturing performance) and new orders (reflecting the outlook), according to Erste Research.
Romania has likely undergone a third consecutive year of declining industrial output in 2026, according to Erste Research, pointing to the marginally weaker PMI index last year: 48.6 points compared to 48.2 in 2025.
