A strong investment cycle is preventing a sharper decline and could lift potential growth to 2.4%–2.7% by 2027–2029, according to an analysis by ING Bank signed by Tataru and cited by Ziarul Financiar.
In his view, Romania’s next challenge will be less the volume of investment and more how productively the new assets are used.
