Romania’s National Commission for Strategy and Forecasting published a projected economic growth of just 0.1% for 2026, down from 1% in the previous forecast. GDP is therefore projected at RON 2.056 billion, compared to RON 1.916 billion in 2025. Similarly, the institution upped its average annual inflation in 2026 to 7.9%.
The Commission pointed to the difficult geopolitical context, specifically the war in the Middle East and the subsequent fuel crisis, as an explanation for the reduction and the inflation.
