Romania revises upwards estimate on modest Q3 2025 GDP growth

Romania’s statistics office revised slightly upward the Q3 GDP growth rate from 1.6% y/y to 1.7% y/y under the national methodology and from 1.2% y/y to 1.3% y/y under the Eurostat methodology, which maintains the consensus expectations for an overall economic growth of just under 1% for the entire year 2025. For the first three quarters, the growth rate was 0.9% y/y under the national methodology and 1.5% y/y under the Eurostat calculation.

The revised data confirmed the key roles played by construction and agriculture for the Q3 economic expansion and the positive contribution made by industry.
