Romania recorded a modest improvement in its external balance in the first two months of 2026, as the current account (CA) deficit narrowed to EUR 3.19 billion, from EUR 3.64 billion in the same period of 2025, according to data published by the National Bank of Romania (BNR) on April 15.
The improvement was mainly driven by a EUR 932 million reduction in the goods trade deficit. However, this was partly offset by a weaker services surplus (down EUR 225 million), a wider primary income deficit (up EUR 251 million), and a slight increase in the secondary income deficit (up EUR 9 million).
