Romania Economic Outlook

Romania stands out as a high-growth convergence economy, benefiting from strong local demand, EU structural funding inflows and deepening integration within regional supply chains.

Real GDP is projected to grow by 1% in 2025, strengthen to 1.4% in 2026, and reach 2.8% in 2027, as fiscal tightening gradually subsides and EU Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP)-backed infrastructure projects enter full implementation. A stronger contribution from net exports, alongside a rebound in private investment, is expected to provide a more balanced growth composition, reducing reliance on consumption-driven expansion.

Disinflation is set to reinforce macroeconomic stability, with CPI easing to 6.5% in 2026, and declining to 3.3% in 2027. The general government deficit is also forecast to narrow from -8.4% of GDP in 2025 to -5.8% in 2027, signaling a structured fiscal adjustment trajectory. Romania retains an investment-grade credit rating (BBB-), making it an attractive option for investors seeking medium to long-term growth within the EU.
