WOOD Flash – Romania macro: playing with fire

The political backdrop in Romania has deteriorated further, in our view, as the political pressure on the central bank is becoming increasingly evident, while the budget uncertainty persists. We maintain the view, that during the budget debate some of the more extreme versions of the sectoral taxes will be scaled back. However, as the European Commission continues to be remarkably silent on the fiscal stance of the country, Romania may continue to experience another year of excessively loose fiscal policy and the weakening of institutions, which introduce the risk of a significant weakening of the currency, in our view.
