FX.co ★ Romanian Q2 GDP Growth Confirmed at 0.3%

Romania's gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 0.3% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2025, consistent with the second estimate and the results from the preceding quarter. This economic growth was primarily fueled by increases in household consumption, which grew by 0.6%, and government spending, which rose by 0.2%. Conversely, there was a slight dip in gross fixed capital formation, falling by 0.1%, and net external demand negatively impacted GDP, as the rise in imports at 2.5% outpaced the 1.8% increase in exports. Seasonally adjusted and on a quarterly basis, Romania's economy expanded by 1.2% in Q2, representing the most significant growth since Q4 2022, following a previously downwardly revised stagnant performance in the prior period.
