In line with expectations, Romania’s central bank BNR on April 7 kept the monetary policy rate at 6.5% despite slower economic growth, citing internal and external risks.
The latest data and analyses point to a pronounced slowdown in quarter-on-quarter economic growth in 2025 Q1, implying an annual GDP growth rate relatively similar to that in the previous quarter, amid divergent developments in aggregate demand components as well as in major sectors, according to the central bank’s press release.
