Raiffeisen Bank Romania said there was no reason why the leu would remain weak against a basket of currencies next year, and as soon as the political crisis eases the local currency could gain strength up to 4.15 against euro, the bank said in a report.
“Our forecasts rely on the assumption that the political deadlock will persist for the remainder of the year until a new government is sworn-in. Should a new government is formed sooner, the leu could gain more than we expect. If the government proposed by PD-L fails to gain the parliamentary vote of confidence, the leu could depreciate on a short-term”, the bank said.
On December 11, ING said it expected an exchange rate of 4.40lei/euro in mid 2010, followed by a recovery of the national currency to 4.25lei/euro at the end of the year.
Raiffeisen added that the National Bank of Romania was likely to keep key rate at current level in the next rate-setting session scheduled for January 5.
“Our basic scenario points to an upkeep of key rate at the next NBR rate-setting session in early January. The excise and political uncertainty-driven pressure over the inflation will be the key factors that could determine the central bank to maintain benchmark lending rate at current level”.
