Romania’s Ministry of Finance has raised approximately EUR 4.7 billion from international financial markets, in the country’s first operation on the foreign markets in 2026, as announced on March 9. The bonds were placed on February 25, just three days before the outbreak of the Middle East conflict, followed by a sudden rise in the borrowing cost.
On March 9, the interest rate on 10-year RON Romanian Government bonds reached 7.1%, over 70 percentage points higher than the 6.3% – the past years’ minimum reached on February 27.
