Macro: COVID-19 FX Update Part 4: RON - Stability-fixation meets (too) many open questions

- Romania is facing weighty twin deficits, which might be problematic to completely finance on markets in challenging

- RON the last counter-balancing factor left on the table did not depreciate significantly up to now compared to most
CEE peers; in current crisis times with ultra-high uncertainty, we see BNR strongly committed to FX stability

- Nevertheless, going forward we expect the RON to depreciate gradually, while there are (overshooting-)risks

- Currently, Romania is considering all possible funding sources for the deficit, including international institutions
