The Romanian leu opened Tuesday’s session at 4.3 to the euro, close to Monday's closing levels, when it was trading at 4.297/4.299 to the euro. This happened amid negative regional sentiment brought about by fears that Ireland’s bailout package will not stop other debt-ridden euro-zone states from plunging into crisis.  Romania's central bank set Monday a reference rate of 4.2957 units, slightly stronger on the day.
