Romania’s gross domestic product for the second quarter of the year advanced by 13.0% year-on-year. The annualized data is an all-time high record. During the same period in fiscal 2020, the Q2 GDP fell 10%. On a quarterly basis, the economy is up 1.8%. The industrial sector led the gains with 18.8% improvement, while construction lags at 1.0%. The consumption is also up with 8.1% in the quarter. The increase is in contrast to the decline in the agricultural sector of -3.4%. Despite the upbeat data, analysts remain skeptical about the future of Romania’s economy. Fitch Ratings also put its investment grade on hold. The reason for the bearish outlook is the political turmoil in the country. A political party resigned from the coalition government, which paved the way for a vote of no confidence for Prime Minister Florin Citu. The concern roots from the possibility of increasing Romania’s budget deficit. The MACD shows a formation of a “bullish crossover.”

The July net surplus was 17.9 billion. The increase in the trade balance is despite the slowdown in exports to 0.5%. On the other hand, imports fell by -3.8%.
