Romania’s current account (CA) deficit surged by 43% y/y to EUR 33.6 billion in 12 months to May 2025, driven by each of its main components but particularly by the 17% y/y wider trade deficit in goods, according to data published by the National Bank of Romania (BNR).
Romania’s CA gap thus hit 9.5% of GDP in the 12-month period, based on the latest available 4-quarter GDP (as of March 2025), up from 9.3% calculated one month earlier and 7.3% one year earlier.
