We continue to forecast Romanian GDP growth of 2.8% in 2025 and 3.1% in 2026. The strength of real household income growth is likely to remain solid, which should support private consumption. Meanwhile, an upturn in EU funds and higher public capital expenditure is likely to mean that investment makes a larger contribution to GDP growth over the next couple of years.
Romania: We anticipate growth near 3% in 2025 and 2026
