The y-o-y inflation rate reached 14.9% in Q1 2023 in Romania, a level which remains relatively high, but prices have been on a downward trend since the beginning of the year and the forecasts are now more optimistic, with single digit levels being expected before the end of 2023. The monetary policy rate has also been stabilized, as it has not been increased from 7.00% in the past 3 months. Romania is predicted to register a GDP growth ranging between 2.5 – 3% in 2023, one of the largest in the European Union, even during a year marked by a series of economic and geopolitical uncertainties throughout the continent, an overwhelmingly positive aspect which should allow the country to attract record foreign investments in the coming period.
