Romania’s public debt, as measured by the ESA methodology, increased by only RON 9 billion (EUR 1.8 billion) during March, reaching 56.1% of GDP at the end of the month, up from a revised 55.7% one month earlier and 54.8% at the end of 2024, according to data published by the Finance Ministry. The end-February indebtedness ratio was revised downward from 56.3% of GDP, in line with the updated four-quarter GDP after the release of the Q1 GDP.
Romania’s public debt thus rose during Q1 2025, particularly due to the FX bonds issued in January and February, by EUR 7 billion.
