“The leu slumped in the morning, the exchange rates reaching 4.28 lei/euro. There is a lingering uncertainty surrounding the currency market and nobody knows what could be next.

The fiscal reform was put on hold, and the chances of continuing the stand-by agreement with the IMF are wearing thin; we’re at risk of a 9% budget gap”, Vlad Muscalu, economist at ING Bank Romania told Wall-Street.
