The National Bank of Romania decided to hold the key interest rate steady at 6.50% during its latest monetary policy meeting. The decision, announced on May 16, 2025, marks a continuation of the central bank's stance, reflecting a stable economic outlook and ongoing efforts to balance inflationary pressures.
Since reaching 6.50% at the last adjustment, the interest rate remains unchanged, signaling the bank's assessment that current economic conditions do not warrant fluctuation. The decision suggests a careful approach to maintain financial stability, as authorities monitor domestic and global economic indicators.
The decision comes amid a backdrop of fluctuating global markets and geopolitical uncertainties that have prompted central banks in other regions to reassess their monetary policies. Romania's steady rate reflects confidence in managing domestic inflation while supporting sustainable economic growth. The bank's unchanged stance suggests a watchful eye on potential economic shifts as the year progresses.
