• Romania has an open economy and should be mindful of the uncertain global backdrop. 2024 is also a mayor election year in Romania and that is always creating some extra political turbulence. The general slower drop in inflation than previously predicted in Romania than in many peers, would indicate the first cut in inflation by the National Bank could be pushed into 2025. With such a scenario in horizon, RomReal will continue its careful approach including cost focus, minimised risks, and no cash return to its shareholders.
