Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Romania

We have lowered our 2025 GDP growth forecast for Romania by 0.1ppt to 1.2% to reflect minor downside historical revisions. We continue to expect growth to pick up to 2.5% in 2026. Though we anticipate that economic momentum will gradually build over the coming years, a substantial tightening of fiscal policy, softer growth in consumer spending, weak external demand, and elevated trade policy uncertainty are likely to prevent a stronger recovery from taking hold.
