On May 5, 2026, the National Bank of Romania (BNR) published a record exchange rate, with the euro quoted at 5.2180 lei, an increase of 0.0182 lei compared to the previous day. This represents a significant depreciation of the national currency, which continues to lose ground against the main currencies.


The US dollar was quoted at 4.4644 lei, an increase of 0.0268 lei. The announcement came in the context of debates in Parliament regarding the motion of censure, highlighting the current economic instability. Exchange rates are calculated by BNR based on the quotations of authorized banks, and the published list also includes other currencies, such as the Australian dollar, Swiss franc, and British pound. In this context, the question arises whether the euro will exceed the threshold of 5.2 lei by the end of the day.
