UniCredit Bank expects Romania's economy to remain broadly stagnant in 2026 before recovering more meaningfully in 2027, while the National Bank of Romania (BNR) is seen delaying monetary easing until the second half of next year in line with the inflation trajectory, according to the bank's latest Quarterly Update.
The bank forecasts Romania's GDP growth at just 0.2% in 2026, followed by an acceleration to 2.3% in 2027, as the impact of fiscal consolidation gradually fades.
