Romania's Q2 GDP recorded a decrease of 0.4% y/y under the previous-year-prices methodology, and by 2% y/y under the chain-linked-volumes methodology, the statistics office INSannounced on August 14 under its flash estimate.
The seasonally adjusted GDP (chain-linked-volume methodology) remained constant in Q2, compared to Q1, after two consecutive quarters of negative growth (technical recession).
In the first semester of 2026, the GDP decreased by 0.8% y/y (unadjusted terms, previous year price methodology), INS also announced. Under the chain-linked-volume methodology, the decrease was 1.6% y/y.
