The Director of the Treasury, Ștefan Nanu, anticipates a decrease in interest rates in the second half of 2026, due to the stabilization of the economy and recent measures.

Ștefan Nanu, the director of the Treasury, stated that the decrease in interest rates in Romania is expected in the second half of 2026, against the backdrop of an increasingly stable economy. The measures recently adopted will temper the domestic markets and will lead to a relaxation of interest rates. Nanu emphasized that there is a positive sentiment in the markets, with high demand for issued debt instruments, which suggests expectations of a decrease in interest rates.

He also mentioned the goals of reducing the budget deficit to 6% in the next year and expressed optimism that the negative outlook from rating agencies could be lifted at the beginning of next year. Although inflation has risen sharply, Nanu believes that the measures taken were necessary and that this spike will be temporary.
