The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has significantly lowered the estimates regarding the evolution of the Romanian economy in 2024
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has significantly lowered the estimates regarding the evolution of the Romanian economy in 2024. Thus, Romania’s GDP will grow by only 1.4% this year – less than half of the 3.2% estimate advanced in the spring. The decline is influenced by the slowdown in the IT sector and the stagnation of industrial production. On the other hand, infrastructure investment will continue to support growth, even with inflation of 5.8% – the highest in the European Union. The EBRD warns that the extremely low level of absorption of European funds represents a risk to economic growth prospects, and in 2025 Romania’s Gross Domestic Product will grow by 2.6% – almost 1% below the previously forecasted level of 3.4 %./aboboc
