FX.co ★ Romanian Industrial Output Falls in August

In August 2025, Romania experienced a 1.1% decline in industrial production compared to the previous year, marking a reversal from the 2.3% growth observed in July.

Conversely, there was a recovery in the production of electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply, which grew by 1.7% after experiencing a 2.3% decline in July. On a month-to-month basis, industrial activity saw a 2% decrease in August, making it the most significant reduction since February, and worsening from a 0.3% decline in July.
