FX.co ★ Romania's GDP Steady at 0.3% in Q2

In the second quarter of 2025, Romania's GDP showed a year-on-year increase of 0.3%, aligning with both preliminary forecasts and the performance seen in the previous quarter. This growth was bolstered by all sub-sectors, with notable contributions from gross fixed capital formation increasing by 2.0%, government expenditure rising by 1.6%, and household consumption up by 0.8%. However, the growth was somewhat offset by the impact of net external demand, as imports surged by 5.6%, surpassing the 2.8% rise in exports. When adjusted for seasonal variations, the economy experienced a quarterly growth of 1.2%, a significant improvement from the 0.1% growth in the preceding quarter and the strongest expansion since the fourth quarter of 2022.
